Cedar has been best known for the annual Polka Fest held every summer, but a man named Ray Pleva may change all that. Ray Pleva patented Pleavalean, a ground beef mix which contains cherries which he tirelessly markets nationwide. Cedar has a full service grocery, hardware store and probably the best ball diamond in the county. Churches in the area include the Holy Rosary Church and the St. Paul Lutheran Church.
