Live German Oompah music plays from a stage and there is even coverage of the Goat Races on a jumbotron. Afterwards, some of the goats and their owners mingle with the crowd, delighting the many children in attendance with their families. It’s an amazing day at the brewery!

Come dance in the WSKG Studios for a taping of Let’s Polka!. During a standard taping, we record three episodes. Therefore, we ask attendees to bring your dancing shoes (or for the wallflowers among us, just enjoy some good music and great company) and three changes of clothing. And be ready to polka!

If you would like to be part of the studio audience or if you want to be one of our dancers, please RSVP via email RSVP@wskg.org to or call 607.729.0100.
