Thread Name: Amana Colonies Polka Festival?
Subject: RE: Amana Colonies Polka Festival?
i am not sure, but you might have to drink enough beer to be able to listen to non-stop polkas for a whole weekend...beware! there may be lots of accordions there. (and tubas?) I am not sure but perhaps the
Amish donot allow beer dringking....they could be fundamentalilst Mennonites who still use horse and buggies but then maybe they are
more modern and use Amana microwave ovens too. They do make good corn cob jelly and quilts, though.you might check here for more info:
