Outreach at Norskedalen's 41st Midsummer Fest
Outreach at Norskedalen's 41st Midsummer Fest
Three members of Coulee Country EGA enjoyed a pleasant day on the grounds of the Norwegian Heritage and Nature Center, Norskedalen, near Coon Valley, Wisconsin. Visitors toured the old log home, observed a blacksmith at work, and got up close to fjord ponies, puppies, sheep, and a donkey who was giving rides to children. Our stitchers could hear folk dance music, a Willy-Nelson-sound-alike, and a steel drum band while they welcomed onlookers to their table under the fiber arts canopy. The EGA members engaged curious visitors with explanations of projects on display. Marybeth's Hardanger was the highlight, but many were fascinated with Tricia's Japanese Temari balls.
Beyond the busy Homestead and Ampitheater, the Benrud Chapel welcomed guests to a Bunad disply. A bunad is the traditional costume of Norwegian women. Anne Farning, wore her beautiful handmade and hand embroidered woolen bunad from the region of Gudbrandsdalen. Special thanks to Tricia, Marybeth, Anne, and Ilene for this successful outreach.
