One of our amazing students and the experience that she had.
Oct. 3 - 6 Liv joined her host family in Green Bay, WI to participate in the annual Midwest Viking Festival. The Host father, Wade, is a presenter at this festival.
Liv helped out at host family blacksmith demonstration stand by talking to people and making sales at least a few hours each day. Since her host family sells some historic items that meant she had to tell people what they were. She stamped kids' activity books when they asked a question. She also helped run the bellows a little. She went around and talked to all the vendors. Liv mentioned that they knew she was an exchange student and the family even tried to connect her with another Danish student visiting the event, but they had just missed him.
Over the two days they estimated 1500-2000 people came to the event.
Liv enjoyed being part of the event.
