Congratulations to all of the International Polka Association
Polka Hall of Fame Inductees and their families!

 

We would like to recognize the members of the IPA Hall of Fame and Music Awards Committee for their efforts in updating and managing the various processes over the last seven months. Heartfelt thanks go out to Mike Matousek, Jackie Libera, Jimmy Weber, Gary Brueggen, and Fred Ziwich for a job well done! We would also like to welcome Craig Ebel to the committee as he fills the shoes of departing member Fred Ziwich. Craig brings a wealth of knowledge of all polka styles and a strong background in communications and broadcasting to the team.
