Community support mkes royl yer unforgettble Megn Rbenberg 2015 Kolcky Queen When sked wht my fvorite memory of being queen ws, I hve very difficult time choosing one moment becuse they were ll truly mzing. But, one specific memory does come to mind when I think bout my reign. It wsn t nything extrordinry, it ws simple moment tht I will remember forever. After long weekend of excitement, lughter, nd smiles, the brnd new Kolcky Dys Roylty hd finlly mde it to Sundy, which ws our first prde. This ws the first time we would be presenting ourselves to the community we would represent for the next yer. Tht s when the nerves strted to set in. I remember feeling nxious, wondering if I ws going to meet the town s expecttions. All the thoughts bout wht could go wrong rced through my hed. But, s the flot strted to move, nd we sw the welcoming fces smile bck t us, suddenly the nerves went wy. Like lwys, my community ws there supporting nd welcoming me s the new Kolcky Queen with open rms. Tht feeling of being welcomed by everyone in Montgomery lsted throughout our entire reign. Being Kolcky Queen hs been n mzing opportunity for me to shre my pride in my Czech heritge nd for Montgomery. It hs tught me mny skills tht I m now grteful for. I ve gined confidence, by putting myself out of my comfort zone s my royl- nothing but fun. Without our roylty coordintor, Angie Budin, we would hve been completely lost throughout the yer. She kept us updted on ll events going on by providing us the informtion we needed for the events, nd ws our go-to person for nything! I lso would like to send n importnt thnk you to my roylty who shred their time, fmilies, nd much more with me this pst yer. Ashlyn Brnett, Annic Reddemnn, nd Kelsey Dvis helped mke this yer unforgettble by giving me so mny wonderful memories tht I will cherish. Keri nd Kevin Brnett, Abby nd Chris DeGrood, Chr nd Bruce Dvis, Jim nd Kren Reddemnn, nd my prents, Troy nd Susy Rbenberg, hve generously scrificed so much of their time nd hve been continuously supportive to ll of us throughout this once-in-lifetime opportunity. I would like to invite everyone to the Kolcky Queen Pgent on Fridy, July 22 t 7 p.m. This yer we hve ten beutiful nd tlented young ldies competing for the crown. Any of them would mke n exceptionl queen. There isn t thnk you big enough to show my pprecition to my community for llowing me to represent Montgomery. I m more proud of my community tody thn I hve ever been becuse of this experience. I m proud to sy tht I live in Montgomery nd hve truly enjoyed my reign s the 2015 Kolcky Queen. Megn Rbenberg 2015 Kolcky Queen ty nd I ttended numerous prdes, corontions, nd community events. None of these experiences would be possible without the behind the scenes work. First, I d like to thnk the Montgomery Are Community Club, for their dediction nd hrd work. They hve done ll the funding, volunteering, nd supporting for Kolcky Dys. They re the people who mke this celebrtion so successful. All the members do fntstic job, but I d like to thnk Tom Wsh in prticulr. He puts in so much time nd effort into prepring nd promoting Kolcky Dys, nd we ll re extremely grteful for him. Next, I d like to thnk the Kolcky Pgent Committee, who mke sure our pgent is orgnized nd entertining. They lso mke the cndidcy process unforgettble nd Wht is Kolcky? Wde Young Severl cities cross the country hold nnul Kolcky Festivl celebrtions, but only Montgomery clims to be the Kolcky Cpitl of the World with its 82-yerold festivl of Bohemin bun. So wht is kolcky? Simply put: A kolcky is type of pstry tht holds dollop of fruit, rimmed by puffy pillow of supple dough. Originting s semisweet wedding dessert from Centrl Europe, they hve become populr in prts of the United Sttes. The ssembly of kolcky vries ccording to tste. Some re mde with n open fce with the filling in the center, while the Montgomery clssic is closed with the pstry s corners meeting in the center. The sweet dough cn be mde with crem cheese, sour crem, ice crem nd yest. Kolckies exist in most Estern Europen cuisines nd re spelled s kolci", kolche", kolcky" or kolchky. The most common fillings include pricot, pple, poppyseed, prune, cheese nd rspberry, lthough pinepple, pssion fruit, persimmon nd quince re sneking their wys into the buns. At the 82nd nnul Kolcky Dys, you cn tret yourself to vriety of kolckies. Pick them up t severl loctions during the weekend: Memoril Prk, Frnke s Bkery, Edel s Met Mrket nd Fred s Mrket Plce Foods.

4 July 21, 2016 Kolcky Dys Festivl & Event Guide 2016 Like Kolcky... Festivl is filled with rich trditions Jke Keohen Kolcky Dys is gret exmple of celebrtion tht hs grown into trdition trdition in which community/re coopertion nd goodwill is displyed for visitors throughout the weekend. An importnt prt of the trdition nd history of the festivl is the crowning of roylty the mbssdors of goodwill for the community who re entrusted to represent Montgomery t mny events throughout the next yer. There hve been volumes of history written bout Kolcky Dys, which ws previously referred to s singulr Kolcky Dy, the big dy on Sundy. We now cll it Kolcky Dys, since the ctivities re relly spred out over three dys. Going bck into some of tht history, there re few vritions in the story of how Montgomery s community celebrtion originted. Jo seph T. Rynd Jr. reportedly remembered the Montgomery Community Club members discussing the ide of community festivl in the winter of 1928. He wnted to celebrte something different from the other neighboring towns nd suggested Ko lcky Dy for the reson tht very few people would know wht it ws nd would be curious to find out nd in tht wy cuse lots of ttrction. Some my question how the festivl plnners ever rrived t the nme Kolcky Dy. One documented re port sid the ide ws generted by the editor of the Messenger, Peter Keohen, nd ws presented to the public in the September 13, 1929, issue of the newspper. The Community Club hd been trying to decide on nme to rivl other re celebrtions. Pete felt the term Kolcky my not men much to people t distnce who re not fmilir with the nme, but if they ever ttended one of our celebrtions nd filled up on tht fmous Bohemin deliccy, they will join the pilgrimge to this city ech yer herefter. (Spce limittions do not llow for publiction of complete chronologicl history of Kolcky Dys, s only some highlights re included.) First Yer Events The first Kolcky Dy ws held on October 4, 1929.

Buttons In 1934 For the 1934 celebrtion, Tom Hunting devised novel button which ws on sle by the Kolcky Girls. The button ws strictly souvenir of the celebrtion nd strted the button sles which hve been used throughout the yers. In the erly dys of the button, the Kolcky Queen nd her ttendnts were determined by the number of buttons they could sell. The Kolcky Girls hd become n integrl prt of the festivl by this time. Dressed in costumes of Czech design, they mrched in prdes throughout Minnesot, promoting Ko lcky Dy whenever n opportunity rose.

It requires prctice, plnning, prctice, plnning nd more prctice. To help the cndidtes be the best they cn be, the Kolcky Dys Pgent Committee works with the girls over the course of two nd hlf months to mke sure they re redy for the big night on Fridy, July 22. Sheil Schoenbuer, the Registrtion nd Cndidte Chir, sets up the ctivities for the girls. Some of the events help the girls get redy for the pgent, while others get them into the community so they cn interct with people, something the new roylty will be doing once they're crowned. She sid some projects re service-bsed like delivering mels for the Mels on Wheels progrm, serving t Senior Dining t Prk Mnor, or mking the fmous fruit-filled Czech bun nd plying Bingo with residents t Trditions Assisted Living complex.

"It helps with their comfort levels tht they cn work with ll ge groups." One event the cndi- dtes ttend is held t the beginning of the seson. Interview Night brings the girls together with the current roylty. The girls bond over potluck dinner, look t video of the previous yer's pgent nd run through tips to help them prepre for their big night. Schoenbuer sid the girls lso prctice their interview skills, exctly how it will hppen with the judges before the pgent. "We give them full seven-minute interview," Schoenbuer sid. "When they're finished, we will give them pointers nd things to chnge so they're more polished. This helps them for the pgent, nd for the rest of their lives." Of course, some things re fun too, like ttending the tping of Bndwgon nd ttending Belle Pline's BBQ Dys, something the girls did lst week with their prents nd fmily. Schoenbuer sid while the girls re hving fun, they still need to remember they re lredy in the spotlight representing Montgomery.

"They ech hve tken prt in coming to our opening number prctices nd they would help us with different things. These things would be teching how to wlk figure eight, which is more difficult thn you think, nd showing us how we should introduce our selves to the judges," Krutkremer sid.
