Thank you for purchasing a Nordic Fest 50th Anniversary Book and DVD

You made this progress possible: mange takk!

Your purchase of the book and DVD combo entitled "Nordic Fest: 50 Years Strong" is most appreciated.Your role in making Nordic Fest 50 years strong through your volunteering, attending and support is even more appreciated!

The Nordic Fest 50th Anniversary Book project team recently presented a check to Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum for $8,334.24 from book sale proceeds. This donation funds the baseline needs for Vesterheim to properly review and eventually prepare the Nordic Fest archives as part of the Museum collection. Your purchase(s) of the book and DVD combo made this gift possible! Mange takk!

A limited number of copies of the "Nordic Fest: 50 Years Strong" book and DVD are now available in the Vesterheim Museum Store in case you need Christmas or other upcoming gifts. 

If you have a personal Nordic Fest story you would like to share that you've added to your copy for a future blog post, please submit it to nordicfest50 at gmail dot com. The Nordic Fest 50th anniversary project blog with dozens of stories that supplement your book content will remain available at http://nordicfest50.blogspot.com

Since April 2014, weekly Nordic Fest stories and project highlights have been posted to this space. This blog will remain up as long as possible, but posts will be less frequent moving forward.
Until then, make your plans to visit Decorah throughout the year and attend the 2017 Nordic Fest. Mange takk again for being the core of the celebration of the 50th Nordic Fest! 

Skål,
