The festival and pageant took place on June 5, 2005, at the Cannery at Fisherman's wharf, and was attended by hundreds of die-hard accordion fans and unsuspecting tourists. Contestants were judged based on talent, costume, and the answer to the question "Why should you be San Francisco's Main Squeeze."

Kielbasia, resplendent in a flowing rainbow-striped mu-mu and bright pink babushka, responded, "I'm already honored to be San Francisco's favorite Accordion-playing lunch lady. As Main Squeeze, I pledge to show the world that not only is San Francisco an accordion-friendly city with terrific food from all over the world, but we are by far the most fabulous!"

Kielbasia then performed her crowd-pleasing Pierogi Polka, "Stuff some with cabbage, stuff others with cheese, do the Pierogi Polka...Fry them in butter, top with sour cream...Hey! Slow down! You'll choke-ah!" which led into a thunderous, sing-along rendition of Bobby Vinton's "Melody of Love" in Polish.

The audience response was overwhelming, thunderous applause - drowning out the clapping for the second place contestant, the world-famous Great Morgani.
