Hi Del -

Yes we were there Saturday for the parade, stayed almost the entire
day, Sunday we went to the Polka Mass, then stayed all day again.
Waco has some neat places - we visited the Ranger Museum Friday and
then the Zoo on Monday.  The weather was perfect!  Saturday was a
bit humid for a while.
We plan to go to the Kolache Fest also.

Many thanks,

Sir John,

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it.  You will be missed!  Hope you are feeling better soon, though and we'll look for you next year.  Do we need to send you a kolache care package up there in the wilds of DFW?

Anita Prazak

So who all's coming? Hmmmm????

Be sure to see the quilts, the Czech museum antique farm implements and machines, the Kraitcher House and the Hot Rod Car show. 

Don't miss the opening ceremonies if possible cuz once that's done the Original Kolache Festival Band should be winding their way musically thru the crowd, complete with pevo wagon!

The SPJST is sponsoring the Czech Heritage stuff at the Senior Center and it's always a good place to go and get cooled off - and score some munchies. If it's as hot as it has been in the past, that's where I'll be! :-)

For serious food, unless they're selling BBQ in Deanville and it's on your way, don't count on "city" food here.  We've got Sonic, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, the Surrey Inn and a couple of other places.  Good food, but nuttin' fancy!  I can recommend the grilled chicken sandwich with crispy fries at Smoking Mesquite, out on Hwy. 36 South.  In town, the Mad Hatters Tea Room is cute and a great place to grab a slice of pie and coffee.  Course, who's gonna be eating anything but kolaches????????

Vitam Vas!

Anita Prazak

Just a note about the 41st Oklahoma Czech Festival. It
will be on 7 Oct 2006 in Yukon,OK...(1st Saturday in
October). It is well attended by Czechs from several
states. A couple of web links are
www.oklahomaczechfestival.com and www.czechhall.com.
They both have info about the festival, although it is
not updated for this year...The czechhall link has
some other czech links that might be of interest.
Yukon is just on the west side of OKC.

Pat,

I keep thinking you said you have the Baca book that contains New Orleans.
I have the year and 2 of the names and the page # as Ancestry doesn't give
the full date, just the year.

If you have the book could you look up:
Martin Jurica age 56 year 1872 page 158 (102) of Baca Book.

This is from Ancestry

Could you give me the names, date, ship and ages? Thank you so much,

Kathy
