PRAHA PICNIC

Fri, 09/01/2023 - 12:00am

The 168th Annual Prazka Pout, or Praha Picnic, took place on Tuesday, Aug. 15, at The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Praha. The picnic takes place every year on August 15, regardless of the day of week, since that date marks the feast day for the parish and a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics. This year the picnic fell on a Tuesday, but that didn’t stop thousands of visitors (including a group of seminarians from the Czech Republic), who flocked to the country church for Praha’s famous fried chicken and stew meal, along with musical entertainment throughout the day, games for the kids, bingo and a big auction.

Another Prolific Polka Party

Fri, 07/28/2023 - 12:00am

The Red and Whites gathered for their summer membership meeting on July 9th and we had a blast! After a filling meal catered by Koopman’s Catering and delicious chef-inspired desserts provided by all our members, we had our meeting to take care of a little business and then lined up for the Grand March to start our afternoon of dancing fun. The Dujka Brothers blessed us with their musical talents keeping the dance floor active playing all our favorite polka and waltzes and a few classic county hits sprinkled here and there. If folks weren’t on the dance floor, they were dancing in their seats or singing along enjoying the spectacular music. There were plenty of smiles on faces and laughter sounding out, along with a few whoops and hollers just for added flair. I believe it’s safe to say a good time was enjoyed by all, even those who were enjoying the party in Polka Heaven.
