HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's National Kolache Day, and you can celebrate in a way that hits even closer to home now that Houston has its very own kolache day, too.
Mayor Sylvester Turner has declared today Houston Kolache Day.
Local Cypress-based shop Koala Kolache requested the proclamation.
"I am thrilled the Mayor proclaimed the holiday for the city! This moment is so much bigger than us. This is for all Texans, all kolache shops in Texas and all over the country. Kolaches have always been the underdog in the pastry world, and National Kolache Day will pave the way for this overlooked pastry to gain its much-deserved recognition," Koala Kolache owner Vatsana Souvannavong said.
