Shortly before 7 p.m. Friday, crowds will gather along Main Street in downtown Silver Lake. They’re anticipating one of the more popular events associated with Pola-Czesky Days Aug. 2-4 in Silver Lake. It’s not the parade or a lip-synch contest but rather clean fun associated closely with Silver Lake.

The City of Silver Lake this weekend, Aug. 2-4, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Pola-Czesky Days — an annual event that highlights the town’s rich Polish and Czech roots.
Activities and attractions have come and gone while some things haven’t changed throughout the years. As many reflect on the event that celebrates the town’s shared culture, it’s hard to overlook the volunteerism and pride surrounding it.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/31/2019 - 10:39am

We learned last week McLeod County and the City of Glencoe were putting plans to extend Morningside Drive to a connection with County Road 15 on the shelf for 2019. The project would require the opening of a railroad crossing. It, the county and city contend, will be sent out for bids early next year at a time when construction companies are most inclined to offer their best prices.
