Our Good luck first started with Branson and the Blue Grass Festival and now in Iowa the Polka Festival,and in Nashville the Grand Ole Opry. This is turning out to be a real musical tour.
We are staying at the Amana Colonies just outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This is a historic village area. We will be checking that out today with Emily and kids.
When we arrived we found out they were having a Beckster Polka Festival here, It is just across the field from where we are parked. We have never been to any thing like that. They are having several bands playing and it will last all weekend. We went to it last night and heard Barefoot Becky and had a great time. We sat with at table of strangers but came away with new email address's, people are sure friendly. We thought of you Bev, you would have loved this, and I remember Melba saying all they do in Wisconsin for fun is the Polka. I just wish we knew how to Polka. These folks here were having such of a great time.
We are now far enough North where they serve beer, when we were in Kentucky we were staying in a dry county. We were told at the restaurant that if we wanted alcohol we would need to bring our own in. And to be discreet and it would need to be kept in a paper bag. In Iowa it is all about Polka and Beer.
