Kolache Festival

We went up to Prague, OK (pronounced Preg) for the Kolache Festival. We didn't really know what we were getting into but we had a blast. We did make an interesting discovery, we had fully expected to find a multitude of sausages rolled in sweet flaky pastry but instead found these...

Coma inducing sugary-fruit filled pastries in every flavor imaginable! Brian tried Apricot and Apple while I had Poppy Seed and Cherry.
We found people dressed like this...
These dresses were all handmade and absolutely stunning up close. I want one.

They held a big ceremony and crowned the Kolache Queen, isn't that a title you would love to have? I know I would. It was so funny sitting in the stands with all the locals, I learned more about every candidate AND their mom AND their grandparents than I ever wanted to know. I have to say it made me a little sad that Chase won't have the experience of growing up in one place, especially the experience of growing up in a small town.
We did find some sausage buried underneath a pile of sauerkraut...
And I know this won't be impressive to you non-Oklahoma dwellers but we found a park with trees! It was impressive for us, needless to say we are looking forward to our next PCS.

And we polka'd!! The town shut off the street and covered it in sawdust while a live band played. Chase and I had to take a spin out there, but do I have a picture of this memorable first mother - son dance? Of course not my husband had the camera. I'm thinking of hiring someone to follow us around to capture moments like that. But to top off the night they handed out free bags of kolaches when we left. I think we ate them all by the next day. Needless to say we will be back next year!
