Scandinavian Festival - 2025


 It could be seen as insensitive for going out to have some fun yesterday what with the tornado and deaths resulting from it. But we did not know the extent of the damage until yesterday evening when the news reporting started assessing it. We went to The Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead held their annual Scandinavian Festival on June 20-21. Mary and I attended and enjoyed it.

Mary bought a book from Candace Simar. I've known Candace for several years. Good writer.
The Luren Singing Society from Decorah, Iowa performed a great selection of numbers.
