Adults bought chances for prizes by playing the root beer barrel game. Participants picked root beer barrels at random with a number corresponding to their prize.
Music could be heard all through the day as The Czech Lites from the New Prague-Montgomery area and Luverne's Concertina Band played. The Klecker Band played inside the church in the afternoon.
A shaved ham or turkey sandwich meal with potato salad, ice cream, baked beans, and a beverage was served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pie and filled biscuits were also on the menu.
Rose Kubicek, who is in charge of putting the festival together, has been a life-long member of the church and, therefore, has been helping with the festival every single year. Kubicek stated, "We basically start planning for the next year's festival the day after the oldest one has finished."
It's a day many people look forward to and always brings a crowd in. Shuttles were available to bring people to and from the church, which a lot of people were thankful for because the line of cars stretched for about a half mile away.
