Farmers and day laborers would labor all week in the fields, by the time Sunday came around they were all ready to relax and enjoy the company of others after church with food and drink. Local farmers would open their fields to the community to come picnic and drink beer. Kids would play games as adults listened and danced to polka music played by their friends and neighbors, beer gardens were a community gathering every Sunday.
