We had planmned on vending for our tenth consecutive year at
New Prague's Dozinky Festival, held on a Saturday, September 20, 2008,
but our plans have changed and we will not be vending.
We, however, be attending the event to enjoy the day,
and we hope to see you there. This is truly one of the great Festivals in the State
and rivals any festival you will ever attend. Czechs and non-Czechs
travel from all over the state to indulge in the food, the beer,
and the music, though not necessarily in that order.

If you have ever attended, we know you will return
and if you have not yet attended, give it a try.
