“The guys in my band are eager to return for this event and perform twice,” said Fritz Scherz, bandleader of Fritz\u2019s Polka Band. “Over the years, we have played to big audiences there and can’t wait to return. Plus, with FPB, as well as each band member being nominated for some national awards that will be given out during the course of this weekend, we\u2019re really excited.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, we\u2019re delighted to have a bunch of our friends going on a bus trip to these gigs. We\u2019ve got some surprises planned, too, for the friends going with us.\u00a0Joining us for these gigs will be our good friend of many years, Rocko Dorsey.\u201d<\/p>\n
