On Sunday, August second, a Polks Mass, a parade, and Czech dinner were held in the afternoon, Helicopter rides and continuous street concerts were also planned. A Beard and Dress judging also occurred with the night ending in a Polka Street Dance. Throughout the Centennial a museum was set up in the National Hall, an Antique tractor show was set up on Main Street, and a history of all the business buildings was present. The citizen involvement was tremendous. All of the business owners and other helpful citizens sold raffle tickets and helped spread the word of Prague's Centennial. I think the Centennial will be a lot of fun, but I wish they had something for the teenagers. 1t's all for adults or little kids. They definitely needed a carnival or a band teenagers would enjoy, Seniorjohn Kaspar told us. Carley Urban, a second grader agreed with john about the carnival, but was real excited about going to the Czech Dinner and taking a helicopter ride. Most of the first and second grade boys and girls seem very excited for the fun and laughter to come.
