Dancers flock to Wisconsin Dells , WI
Fans came by the hundreds to the Wisconsin Dells Polka Fest , the first festival in more than a year . The event took place April 30 through May 2 at the beautiful Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells , WI .
Folks from California , Colorado , North Carolina , New York , Florida , and all points in between enjoyed three days of great fun with eight fantastic polka bands .
On stage , the bands shook off any rust that might have developed and sounded like they had never even stopped playing .
An informal survey found that approximately 80 % of the attendees had at least one vaccination shot , if they were not alredy fully-vaccinated for COVID- 19 .
There have been no reports of anyone who attended the festival becoming sick , or testing positive for COVID-19 in the weeks since the event .
People were determined to get out and enjoy life and polka music again , so they got vaccinated , they stayed healthy , and they had a great time .
Organizers are looking forward to next year ’ s festival , which will take place April 22 , 23 , and 24 , 2022 .
