As many of you know, the venue we have been having Masopust at couldn't put us on their books for 2027. We had so much fun there and Pivo was a great supporter of Masopust!!

If we decided to continue having Masopust, we needed to make a decision as to where hold our Czech Mardi Gras!!

After much talking and consideration, CHP and the members have decided to continue with our 21st Annual Masopust for 2027!

****CHP will be holding Masopust 2027 at The Protivin Community Center in Protivin, IA!!! ****

Mark your calendars for February 6, 2027!! We sure hope our regular attendees come and we invite all of Protivin to come support CHP and your Czech Heritage!!!
More info to come, of course! Tickets will be on sale in November!
