From the snow-covered prairies of Renville County , hello to all the snowboarding polka dancers of the upper Midwest .
I have to get this done in a hurry or Audrey is going to be upset with me , as I was to have it done and to her three days ago .
The last time I wrote , it was good weather and when you read it , it was bad ; so if the case continues , it will be nice weather when you read this .
I really don ’ t enjoy the snow much , as we are calving at this time and the snow and cold is absolutely the worst weather we could have .
Bob Malek told me you have to take good care of those cows , as they are ladies and need to be treated as so .

A bit of trivia – on April 2 , 1982 , it was 78 degrees ; and by the evening of April 3 , it was just 7 degrees – quite a big change , but no snow .
I am sure by the time you read this , the coronation meeting and dance will be over .
I am sure most of you are aware , the Po . L . K . of A . Musicfest is the first weekend in August – 3rd , 4th , and 5th . Fritz and Bella have put together a great group of bands . Come and enjoy . Also the $ 10 coupon is still good for a Po . L . K . of A . membership – contact Maddie .
God bless and keep dancing .

sure isn ’ t like spring .
I ’ ve been working on trying to get the younger folks to dance to the many tunes of the polka and waltzes . We have some ideas that we would like to try . There will be more on this in the next issue of Music and Dance News .
We have been having a few health troubles , but it seems to be getting better .
Our oldest son and his wife will be home for a week in the middle of April .
Hope everyone had a good Easter .
Keep dancing and enjoy the music .

Yes , spring is here , but we still have plenty of snow on March 20 . Ice is on the lakes and it will be some time yet before that is gone .

Dancing has been limited , due to the cold and snow , but as weather gets warmer it will pick up .
I ’ ve been mostly to Pla- Mor in Glencoe for afternoon dances ; crowds have been smaller , but still lots of fun times .

We made our monthly trip to Turtle Lake Casino , where the buffet is good and the event center has dances the first Sunday of each month . Recent bands were Bill Koncar , Hank Thunander , and Polka Spotlight Band .
Polka Spotlight is the second Saturday of the month in Brooklyn Park , MN . We heard the Gene Ostendorf Band from the Avon area for the first time ; had good variety . Cathy Erickson Band was also there recently , with many good tunes .
March 11 , we went to the Czech Mardi Gras , Masopust , in Montgomery , MN . Charlie Sticka furnished the dancing music . I had a good time . There were lots of friendly people , a silent auction on homemade rolls , and food was
