Kolacky Days seeks grand marshal nominations

According to the Montgomery Messenger, the first local Grand Marshal of the Kolacky Day festivities was 98-year-old Metej J. David, Le Sueur County’s oldest resident. The article went onto say, “Grandpa Dave” was one of Montgomery’s pioneer Czech settlers and was still able to lead a relatively active life in spite of his advanced age.” Since then many great men and women have received this cherished honor!
