The following letter to the editor appeared in the Decorah Newspapers following the 1994 Nordic Fest. Used with permission.
Dear Editor:
On behalf of myself and the Nordic Fest Board of Directors, I would like to give a warm and hearty thanks to everyone who helped make Decorah's 28th annual Nordic Fest a success.
It truly would not be possible without the full and complete cooperation we have from countless businesses, organizations and individuals. Together we, the citizens of Decorah, make things happen. And it's very much appreciated.
Many of us hear visitors express comments on how much they enjoyed the 1994 Nordic Fest and its varied activities. From young to old, lots of fun was had. I have strong suspicions that many of these folks will come back to Decorah in the future. Let's hope so.
If you have not had the opportunity to get involved in the Nordic Fest, please consider it. When you volunteer, you will meet interesting and friendly folks as well as be the good Samaritan an organization or individual needs - and hundreds of hands are needed.
Also, if you care to have visitors stay in your home, you may just find a new and valued friend. When our motels and dorms are full, the modest prices charged for a comfortable bed and bath in a private home may be just the little boost a family's income needs to help cover the cost of something special. This income is well-deserved for the efforts of giving your home the "spit and polish" treatment that makes a visitor feel they're in good hands.
I'm very grateful for the spirit of Decorah and its citizens - urban and rural. It's a great thing to share and that's just what we do - at Nordic Fest. Mange tusen takk.
Cindy Johnson, Decorah
President 1994 Nordic Fest
