BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Now that we have celebrated Pauline’s birthday, here is a reminder of the purpose of this page: a celebration of Steve Miklo’s 100^th birth date.

If you haven’t already, look back over previous posts for the story of Steve’s life so far.  We will post more stories and photos over the next several weeks. 

Make plans to attend the Miklo Family Reunion on Saturday, July 13^th in Dolliver State Park. There will be live music, including Steve and Betty’s favorite polkas; a picnic, including some Miklo Family recipes; and contests.

There will be prizes for:

1) the branch of the Miklo family with the most members in attendance,

 2) the family members who come the farthest, the second and third farthest,

 3) the top three scorers on the “Miklo Family Quiz”,

 4) the best homemade kolache, and

5) the best homemade nut rolls. 

For those who need lodging we have reserved a block of rooms at the American Inn located at the intersection of Highways 20 and 169 about 10 miles northwest of Dolliver State Park. The rooms have two queen beds and have a discount rate of $115 per night. To reserve a room call 800-634-3444 and let them know that you are attending the Miklo Family Reunion.

For those who want a more rugged experience and a thriftier night's stay we have two cabins reserved in Dolliver State Park for Friday and Saturday night. Each cabin sleeps six people - in bunk beds. The cost is $35 per night for the entire cabin. Email Bob at robertmiklo@mchsi.com if you would like to stay in one of the cabins. And for the real campers consider reserving your own camping space in the park at: http://www.iowadnr.gov/Destinations/StateParksRecAreas/IowasStateParks/ParkDetails.aspx?ParkID=610107

Pass this information on to Miklo family members and encourage them to attend.
