The front page welcomed everyone to Nordic Fest with an introduction from an unknown author that reads as follows:
Nordic Fest is...
A time when everyone is Norwegian.
Music, dancing, arts and food.
A joyous opening ceremony at Courthouse Square that makes you feel proud to live here.
Seeing friends and neighbors in colorful costumes.
Seeing old friends and neighbors you haven't seen.
Campers, hundreds of them.
Food smells that make your mouth water.
House tours, farm tours, bus tours and troll tours.
Puppet show, Pokey Pete, animal barn and movies for the kids.
Antiques, crafts and bunad show.
Horseshoes, rock throw, Evelopet and bucket brigade.
Vesterheim, rosemaling and Norwegian American craft workers.
Needle workers, quilters and cooks.
Church suppers, food booths and demonstrations.
Friendly faces at the information booth.
Watching a parade where you know everyone - even the horses.
Activities at Luther and a visit to the Porter House Museum
Street dancing, fireworks and torchlight parade.
Lots of company.
Nordic Dancers, the Kilties and the Christenson Family Singers.
Cut laws, trimmed shrubs and beautiful flower gardens all over town.
Special guests from Norway.
Like going home and feeling like you never left.
Velkommen til Nordic Fest!
How would you finish the sentence...."Nordic Fest is.....?"
