We're going to learn how to drive like Nascar drivers before kicking our heels at the Polka Festival.

Enjoy the sweet sounds of summer music every Thursday at 6:30 pm – for FREE! Bring blankets and chairs for hill seating. Concessions are available, including beer and wine. We're going to participate in the polka activities, I hope you brought your dancing shoes.

Polka Festival.... that makes me nervous. Outdoor, free concert... that I can handle. Being able to wander around is great. You can head closer for interesting music and further away if the music is not to my taste.
Here is a taste of what we... had to listen to...

This was tolerable... Frank Rossi and the Sounds of Frank Sinatra.


I will say the 'learning' to drive a NASCAR car was fabulous fun.
