We made it another trip around the sun! Grab your friends (probably a bottle of water too since it going to be a hot one) and start hunting in this year’s Great Kolacky Pursuit – Montgomery Kolacky Days Medallion Hunt. You better get going as we know Dale Ruhland, the Kolacky Days historian, will be out looking too.

It was Day 2 in the Great Kolacky Pursuit. Dale thought instead of searching everywhere under the sun, he would use his skills in probability and stay cool. He started to write down the places where the medallion was previously found. He recalled a few but wondered where else he could find the locations. As he complied his list, he realized only once has the Kolacky Days medallion been found in one of these. He thought the odds were too high to not be hidden in one of these this year.

As Dale hopped in his van to begin is day, the song on the radio was the “North, South, East, West Polka”. As he sang along, the music stopped when his cell phone rang. However, the last word he heard was north. Even though the song says it makes no difference, Dale felt it did.

As Dale was walking along Main Street checking out this year’s window display polka themed entries, he ran into Bob and Colleen Pavek, this year’s Grand Marshals, at the corner of 1st Street and Vine Ave. Dale recalled their business, Pavek Dairy and Sales and thought he’s going to moo(ve) parks. It was only time before Dale thought he will become legend-dairy in Kolacky Days history.

As Dale grew tired from searching the park, he decided to take a rest. As he sat there, he remembered when he was kid riding the milk can rollers after the creamery closed and as he looked down and in-between the holes in the park bench he noticed something shiny peeking through.
