Troll Walk Fun Year Round

As mentioned in last week's post, a dedicated group of Luther College faculty and Decorah community members, first organized by Dr. George Knudson, have brought immeasurable education and fun to Nordic Fest with the annual Troll Walks. 

Given that missing picnic basket items and other mischief actually occurs unexplained in Decorah year-round, the Troll Walk volunteers organized the International Troll Information Center, letterhead of which can be seen above. This letterhead was from 1983 and the typewriter produced letter sent with it reads as follows:

August 19, 1983

Mange tak for leading Troll Walks! Not only were people here for Nordic Fest pleased with your efforts; I have also received requests from several foreign nations to provide names of those knowledgeable in troll matters. There may be consulting fees in it for any of you interested in traveling to Afghanistan or Outer Mongolia. 

I believe we should plan for a second annual winter meeting of the International Troll Walkers Association, but it probably won't be safe before hibernation time. Any of you wishing to submit papers for the meeting should contact the Information Center. You will receive a formal program in a later mailing. 

Thanks again!

Sincerely, 
Roger M. Knutson
Corresponding Secretary
International Troll Walkers Association
