Polka party’s on for July 6-8 in Ellsworth

Talk about it

Polka enthusiasts will party on down to the Pierce County Fairgrounds July 6-8 for the 37th annual Ellsworth Polka Fest.

They’re a loyal bunch, these fans of the music-with-a-beat and fast-paced dance. They come here to swell as well as entertain the local population, one of the most popular stops on a summer festival circuit.

Lots of whooping and hollering are promised as the faithful whirl and twirl across two wooden dance floors set up inside the grounds. Their moves Friday through Sunday will be done to the accompaniment of over a dozen bands.

If past pattern holds true, the weather will be warm and around 2,000 visitors should be in attendance. Their arrival will coincide with the end of the Fourth of July, so they should be in a holiday mood.
