Weekend, Weekend, Weekend

We had this kind of a weekend:


Kolache Festival

This weekend was the annual Kolache Festival in Caldwell, Texas. It is always really hot for the festival, but we decided it might be fun to brave the heat and drive down the road to this Czech celebration. Caldwell was a Czech settlement, speaking Czech until very recently. In fact, many small towns in Texas still identify with those initial immigrants, whether from Mexico, Germany, Czechoslovakia. This one is all about food--Kolaches are a Czech wedding pastry.

The celebrated Kolache:

It wouldn't be a festival without a Kolache Eating Contest:
