Fritz's Polka Band

On Sunday, August 3rd, Jagermeister-sponsored, Fritz's Polka Band (FPB) from Verona, NY, will perform again at the Swiss Picnic, held at Stysh's Brown Barn Campground (Moose River Road) in Boonville, NY. FPB will perform from 1 to 5pm.

"We're looking forward to performing again for the Swiss Picnic,” said Fritz Scherz, band leader of Fritz's Polka Band. "FPB Fan Club Member, Marian Carpenter and her family have been hosting this event for over 20 years, and it's always a great event for all ages. Marian was even recognized two years ago by New York State Senator, Joe Griffo, as he credited her with keeping this great community tradition going strong. The guys in FPB encourage people of all ages to attend."

Fritz's Polka Band has been performing for over 29 years, and made history in 1999, when they became the first polka band to perform at a Woodstock Festival in Rome, NY. In September 2007, FPB made history again by becoming the first polka band to perform at the Metropolitan Club in New York City. FPB has made 15 recordings, and even appears on "The Manchurian Candidate" DVD which was released in July 2004.
