Polka Fest agreement inked

On a snowy Thursday night at a Solon Township meeting, negotiations concluded over the future of the Cedar Polka Festival.

The board and Cedar Chamber of Commerce agreed to pay $225 per day for approximately nine days ($2,000+) per year for a period spanning three years. The price may fluctuate slightly from year to year.

For 42 years, the Polka Festival has paid $1 per year for use of the township park in Cedar, including the tennis courts, which board members agreed are beyond repair with no intention of replacement or improvement.
