Our Scandinavian Folk Music and Dance Weekend was fantastic! Here is a sampling of photos from the children’s dance instruction, the fiddle workshop, pizza lunch, concert and dance party on Sat night followed by an impromptu mini concert at the Harbor Rail, and a Sunday concert at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. We thank our wonderful musicians from the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis and our dance instructors Rose and Barbara for their help.
Generous Sons of Norway grants were greatly appreciated to keep this fun event free and open to the public.

Our next social will be on Tuesday April 14 at 7 pm at the Community Center. Paul Dahlin and friends will share stories and traditional fiddle tunes demonstrating simple folk traditions and how these can enrich other’s lives.

It’s just going to be fun!
