Welcome to Polka Doll!

My name is Linda Chesky Fernandes and I am the owner of Polka Doll. My father, Larry Chesky, dedicated his life to the polka music industry. For over 50 years, he made what I view as a very significant contribution. During that span of time, his father, my grandfather, Poppa Joe Chesky and my grandmother Wanda, started a record company. It's name was Rex Records. The record label would eventually be known as one of the premiere recording companies whose commitment to the promotion of polka music would be legendary. Polka music and polish culture have always had a place in the Chesky family and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to carry on the legacy that was started by my grandparents and carried on by my father.

I hope that you enjoy the selection of products that you find on this website. If you need assistance or have comments or questions, please feel free to contact me.

I am honored that I have been afforded this opportunity to promote polka music and polish products and hope that through this venture I can expose a wide range of Polish-Americans to our joint heritage. Polish music and traditions can provide a sense of balance and community and I look forward to promoting our culture through this endeavor.

Polkatively yours,

Linda Chesky Fernandes
