I enjoyed the video of the parade and the polka/dance tent. I see the chicken dance is popular as well, lol.

That looks like fun. I only have one Czech guy in my life right now. He would probably pretend that he doesn't speak. It is too uncool and folkloric. Szubert, drop your attitudes and have a kolache.

Is that you in the blue skirt on the far right in the photo toward the end of the article? the one with the photos of the original group...sorry I can't go back and look at it again without subscribing :-(
I got to the special exhibit of kroje at the National Czeck and Slovak Museum in Cedar Rapids 20-ish years ago. Gorgeous embroidery and metal work on the traditional costumes, especially the special occasion ones!

Looks like a good time was had by all at Westfest.
