Little Balkans Days wrapped up today with a bevy of events for people to enjoy. Meadowbrook Mall in Pittsburg was the home for a polka dance and chicken feed. Guests had an opportunity to enjoy a chicken lunch, a choice of three sides of spaghetti, German slaw, German potato salad, and onion rings. A number of Southeast Kansas local restaurants provided the food. Live music was also provided by the Johnny Zibert Polka Band – giving everyone a chance to do some polka dancing. All proceeds from today go back to next year’s Little Balkans Days Festival. “Oh yeah, we look forward to this every year. We’ve been doing this for, I can’t even count how many years. I started doing it years ago with my dad – and it’s just a tradition and we keep carrying on,” said Johnny Zibert, The Johnny Zibert Polka Band member. A fishing derby, along with a concert by the “Retro Rockerz” and Conway Jackson also helped wrap up this year’s festival. Source: KSNF/KODE
