CZECH DAYS are just around the corner! Enjoy our footage of the 2021 Wilber-Clatonia Czech Days Alumni Band!
In 1987, President Ronald Regan signed a decree declaring Wilber, Nebraska in Saline County as the Czech Capital of the United States. Every year thousands of people from all over the world and Southeast Nebraska come to Wilber to brave the hot summer days and enjoy beer and kolaches! (There are other great foods as well but you can’t go to Czech days without having those most famous staples!)
The little town of Wilber anxiously awaits for thousands of people to fill the streets enjoying kolaches, beer, music, friendship and a great celebration of Czech History in Southeast Nebraska.
This will get you in the mood for a beer and a Kolache for sure!
