Liner notes

An upbeat polka tune celebrating Thorp, Wisconsin, where the Street of Flowers blooms bright along the old Yellowstone Trail. The song sings of the rich dairy heritage, the famous local gouda cheese, and the proud Polish roots that keep the community dancing. It is a lively tribute to small-town life, family, and the summer traditions of Clark County.
