Here is a great vintage (circa 1991), black pre-worn T-Shirt, size Medium (read measurements below) thin T-Shirt that proudly states that “I Survived KOLACKY DAYS” in Montgomery Minnesota. The graphic is in white and pink with a drawing.

The T-Shirt measures 21 inches across the chest measured under the arms and from the back of the neck band to the bottom hem is 29 inches making it a comfortable size MEDIUM or a TIGHT size LARGE. The neck tag says it is a large, but that is old school size. And, to add to it’s vintage appeal, this is a SCREEN STARS BEST tag – 50% cotton and 50% polyester. No holes or stains and good condition for its age!

And just so you know...
The festival dates back to 1929, when an estimated 6,000 people visited Montgomery for the first Kolacky Day celebration, held Tuesday, October, 1, 1929.

"The Kolacky Day spirit reigned supreme from early Tuesday morning until a comparatively late hour Wednesday morning. More than 1,600 of the celebrated delicacies were devoured," according to a Montgomery Messenger account from the following week.

Events at the first celebration included a trap shooting tournament, a parade, sports and races and a football game between Montgomery and Le Sueur Center (now Le Center).

In 1931 Miss Leatta Ehmke, (Mrs. Joe Trnka) was crowned the first Kolacky Queen by Mayor Henry Westerman. Her attendants were Ella Krocak, Sylvia Zelenka, Anna Zelenka and Berniece Malone.

For the September 30, 1934, celebration a novel button, sold by the Kolacky girls, was devised.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Kolacky Day retreated to the background until the Montgomery Community Club decided to revive the celebration in 1948.

Kolacky Days officially became a summer festival in 1966 when the traditional date, the last Sunday in September, was dropped in favor of the first weekend in August. The earlier date and warmer weather brought huge crowds to the festival.

In 1975, Kolacky Day became Kolacky Days and the event was held for the first time at the end of July. The move to July was done at the urging of the Green Giant vegetable canning company in order to avoid conflict with the busy corn processing season.
