What a day to remember at the 2025 Polka Fest parade! This year, our float wasn’t just about showcasing our love for the community. It was about celebrating someone truly remarkable. Jeff Holubar.
Jeff has faced the challenges of living with Multiple Sclerosis with a strength that leaves us in absolute awe. Every day, he pushes through the hardships of this diagnosis, inspiring everyone around him to live life to its fullest. His perseverance is the kind of reminder we all need—that even when life throws its toughest curveballs, there’s still so much joy to be found.
Jeff has always had a passion for tractors, and we thought, what better way to honor him than by bringing that joy to life on our float this year? Watching him take in the sights and sounds of the parade, you could just feel how much it meant to him. And watching you all cheer him on? It warmed our hearts beyond measure.
To everyone who waved, clapped, and hollered words of encouragement for Jeff, thank you. You reminded us of what makes this community so special—we show up for one another.
We hope, we fight, and we long for a future where MS doesn’t hold anyone back. Jeff has shown us what it means to keep going, to keep hoping, and to keep finding the good in every single day.
Here’s to you, Jeff. And here’s to making more moments that celebrate perseverance, hope, and a cure we believe is coming. ❤
