Wisconsin State Kolacky Contests

Bez práce nejsou koláce.
(Without work, there are no koláchy).

Wine Making Contest

Before you drink, make a toast.
Na zdravie! (To your health!)

Kolacky, Kolachy, Kolace, Kolache, Kolachkes

No matter how you spell it, they are always good right out of the oven! Kolacky, in its many forms, is one of those things that is easily identified as being Czech and Slovak! How could we NOT have a festival without eating these amazing cookies/pastries??? Therefore it only makes sense that we have a  contest dedicated to kolacy! See the actual contest page (click here) for more details on how to enter.

Wine-making has been a tradition in Slovakia that has made a rebirth since its release from Post-WWII Communism, and its independence in the 1990s. Since about 2010, Slovakia began making its name in the world of wine-makers.  We know that many Slovaks in Phillips and throughout the US try their hand at wine making, just as many community Czechs experiment with beer-making.  Miss Czech-Slovak WI State Queen Trinity Pesko 2023-2024 attended several events featuring wine making and put forth the idea.  Thus, the idea was born.
