奧克拉荷馬州的捷剋日
地方性遺產
您吃過kolache嗎？
假如您在十月的第一個星期六前往奧克拉荷馬州的育空(Yukon)，您就能吃到kolache。每一年，育空都會舉辦頌揚捷克人及斯洛伐克(Slovak)祖先的慶祝活動。另外，它又被正式稱做奧克拉荷馬境內的捷克斯拉夫人首都，因為1800年代晚期，許多來自東歐捷克斯拉夫的人到此定居(1993年時，捷克斯拉夫分裂成捷克共和國與斯洛伐克兩個國家)。
最廣為流傳的捷克斯拉夫食物就是一種叫做kolache
(發音方式為koh-lah-chuh)的酥皮點心。kolache
是一種美味的小圓糕點，裡面通常放有水果或起士。在捷克共和國與斯洛伐克國內，婚宴上若沒有放上kolache，就稱不上是一場完美的婚禮。有一個名叫費亞拿(Maria
Fiala)的婦女為了節慶總共烘培了600打的kolache，因而被人稱做Kolache女王。
擁有捷克及斯洛伐克背景的育空居民，藉由捷剋日來保存及分享他們捷克習俗、服飾及食物。節慶中最吸引人的地方是它的舞蹈。慶典中會舉辦許多的舞蹈表演，而各個年齡層的人都被鼓勵參加(就像這些身穿漂亮服裝的小朋友)，假如您不是捷克人或斯洛伐克人，這場節慶是瞭解他們習俗的最佳途徑。
Have you ever eaten a kolache?
If you go to Yukon, Oklahoma, on the first Saturday in October, you can. Every year, Yukon celebrates its Czech and Slovak ancestors. Yukon is officially known as the Czechoslovak Capital of Oklahoma because so many people from the country of Czechoslovakia, in Eastern Europe, settled there in the late 1800s. (In 1993, the country split into two nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.)
The most popular food from Czechoslovakia is a pastry called a kolache (pronounced koh-lah-chuh). A kolache is a delicious, small bun usually filled with fruit or cheese. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, no wedding feast is complete without them. One woman, Maria Fiala, baked 600 dozen kolache for the festival and was named Kolache Queen.
The Czech Festival is a way for the people in Yukon with Czech and Slovak backgrounds to preserve and share their Czech customs, clothing, and foods. One of the main attractions of the festival is dancing. Lots of dance performances are held, and people of all ages, like these kids in the beautiful costumes, are encouraged to join in. If you aren't Czech or Slovak, the festival is a great way to learn about their customs.
