PLYMOUTH, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — What better time than dinnertime to talk about all sorts of sumptuous sausage at a popular local event? The Plymouth Kielbasa Festival is into its second day in Luzerne County.
It attracted a huge crowd on Saturday, including a pair of familiar faces.
28/22 morning co-anchors Tom Williams and Gianna Galli stepped up to the judges' table and sat down to sample kielbasi from a variety of vendors.
Even those who were not celebrity judges made sure to get a taste of what this festival has to offer.
"Yeah, I had the Glen Lyon [Bros] Kielbasa bites with bacon. Excellent. You ought to try it," Mark Spaid from Berwick said.

"We have a good following. A lot of people always show up. We sell a lot of sandwiches, and it's a good time. You get to see a lot of people that you don't get to see throughout the whole year," John Vishnefski, Owner of Tarnowski's Kielbasa in Nanticoke, told 28/22 News.
After the judge's results, Tarnowski's kielbasa won the festival's first-place award for fresh kielbasa.
Joe's Smokehouse in Shickshinny took top honors for best smoked kielbasa.
The fun continues until 11:00 p.m. Saturday night in Plymouth.
