West is planning a Sister City ceremony with Kunovice, Czech Republic on Sept.5 at the gazebo on the West City Hall lawn. The mayor of Kunovice will be our Grand Marshall for the Westfest parade. With this signing, West will be only the second city in Texas to become a Sister City with a city in the Czech Republic. The other is East Bernard. You should google Kunovice, it has a great and rich history...very interesting.
To tie in with this story is the story of Alice Lunakova, a college student who is writing a thesis about the Czech immigration to Texas. She is staying with a family here in West and will be interviewing Czech's to get their family history and as she speaks Czech and American she is anxious to speak with some of the Czech speaking citizens of West..I think this is really cool and can't wait to read it..
Kiwanis is having blood drive this Thursday..we usually have very big turn out.
Nov 3 we will have City of West elections..Tommy Muska will be opposed by Suzy Price for Mayoral race. Should be interesting..
I know who I' voting for...
West Catholic Daughters of the America's will have bake sale on Saturday at Saint Mary's Parish Center. Too bad you aren't here for this...
As most of you know this will be the 40th Anniversary of our Westfest..which will be from September 4th to 6th.
Westfest will begin with the Preview Party on Sept. 4th under the East Pavilion tent on the festival grounds with the Miss Westfest Pageant. The gates open at 5:30 p.m. The Miss Westfest Pageant is scheduled at 7 p.m. where the reigning Miss Westfest 2014 Dokupil will crown the new Miss Westfest at the end of this event.
Following the crowning of Miss Westfest Roger Creager is scheduled to perform in this area followed by Cory Morrow, who is scheduled to be on stage at 10 p.m. There is a special Preview party price for the Carnival area for the kids. They will be able to ride all mechanical midway rides for $25. This price does not include the price of admission. There will be over 20 rides. Adult admission for the Preview Party will be $15, children under the age of 12 and accompanied by an adult are admitted free.
Saturday morning starting at 10 a.m. we'll have the parade..which in my book is the best part of Westfest...well, when I drank it wasn't..but it sure is now.
On the festival grounds there will be many many food booths(and one for skunk eggs), hours of ethnic entertainment under the Cultural Amphitheater, and arts and crafts area along with, of course, continuous polka music and lots of dancing. (including the Chicken Dance and There is no Beer in Heaven).
There will be horseshoe tournaments, Taroky Tournaments and I think a washer tournament too.
New to the amphitheater this year will be the Kolache Eating Contest beginning at noon on Sept. 6th. Melissa Sefcik, who is the coordinator for this contest, said prizes will be given to the winners in the men, women, boys and girls divisions along with a team eating contest...that should be fun to watch. In addition, she said there will be a grand prize presented to the winner of the Velky Vitez(Big Winner) division.
We will also have our Kolache 5000 Challenge for 8 a.m. on Sept. 5th.
There will be the traditional Kolache Baking Contest too..which is won by Gerik Bakery employees every year. Jeanne and Jennifer..ha..
