奥克拉荷马州的捷克日
地方性遗产
您吃过kolache吗？
假如您在十月的第一个星期六前往奥克拉荷马州的育空(Yukon)，您就能吃到kolache。每一年，育空都会举办颂扬捷克人及斯洛伐克(Slovak)祖先的庆祝活动。另外，它又被正式称做奥克拉荷马境内的捷克斯拉夫人首都，因为1800年代晚期，许多来自东欧捷克斯拉夫的人到此定居(1993年时，捷克斯拉夫分裂成捷克共和国与斯洛伐克两个国家)。
最广为流传的捷克斯拉夫食物就是一种叫做kolache
(发音方式为koh-lah-chuh)的酥皮点心。kolache
是一种美味的小圆糕点，里面通常放有水果或起士。在捷克共和国与斯洛伐克国内，婚宴上若没有放上kolache，就称不上是一场完美的婚礼。有一个名叫费亚拿(Maria
Fiala)的妇女为了节庆总共烘培了600打的kolache，因而被人称做Kolache女王。
拥有捷克及斯洛伐克背景的育空居民，藉由捷克日来保存及分享他们捷克习俗、服饰及食物。节庆中最吸引人的地方是它的舞蹈。庆典中会举办许多的舞蹈表演，而各个年龄层的人都被鼓励参加(就像这些身穿漂亮服装的小朋友)，假如您不是捷克人或斯洛伐克人，这场节庆是了解他们习俗的最佳途径。
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.
