Phil Bates will reopen his remodeled Starlite Ballroom west of Wahoo, Neb., that day. After a fire gutted the room in February, polka buffs had to find other places to stomp to live music.

Polka: This one is for the energetic. A “Polkerama” will start at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Starlite Ballroom in Wahoo, Neb. Those whose feet can stand the pace will be able to polka for 12 hours.
