I would like to know when the 2008 fest will be held. Is there a web site for this event?
I attended the Polka Fest in 2007, I had a lot of fun, the music was great and the people of the town were very friendly and helpful. However I found the porta-john facilities gross and disgusting you could really improve in that area.
I look forward to the festival this year and my annual trip "Up North".

Not driving up this year, because we drove up last year
to hear the Polka Towners, and they never showed....
