19_32 | Kolacky Day officially became a summer festival in 1966 when the traditional date, the last Sunday |
19_33 | in September, was dropped in favor of the first weekend in August. The earlier date and warmer |
19_34 | weather brought huge crowds to the festival. In 1975, Kolacky Day became Kolacky Days and the event |
19_35 | was held for the first time at the end of July. It is now celebrated on the fourth full weekend of |
19_36 | that month. The shift was made at the urging of the Green Giant vegetable canning company, to avoid |
19_37 | conflict with the busy corn-processing season. |

19_39 | "The Czech Mardi Gras" and the Miss Czech-Slovak MN Pageant. |
