Nordic Fest: 50 Years Strong: Some Copies Still Available

Some copies of the book and DVD combo entitled, "Nordic Fest: 50 Years Strong" are still available online at www.nordicfest.com for $50 each. Proceeds support the project to permanently place the Nordic Fest archives with Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum starting in late 2016.

This historical Nordic Fest retrospective features 304 full color pages, a section at the back to record your own Nordic Fest memories, and a DVD with movie footage from the first Nordic Fest in 1967, as well as a digitized copy of a promotional video from the 25th Nordic Fest. 

Purchased books may either be picked up at the Decorah Area Chamber at no charge or shipped by the project at a cost starting at $8 for one book. 

Book purchaser Rebecca Hanna said, "It was delightful reading about all the Nordic Fests of the past 50 years and seeing all the photos of so many Decorah residents and volunteers that I happen to recognize. Even though I wasn’t present at all the fests, I made the first one and the last thirty-some years. I’m glad I picked up this keepsake book so I can keep reliving these fond moments from the past.”
