Bring some of your favorite chili to be judged against others and then we will all try some.

We are collecting cookies for Barnebirkie (see the next post). Bring as many as you can bring, the kid skiers really LOVE cookies when they’re finished skiing. PLEASE, NO NUTS.

Please join us for this special day
to enjoy a performance of the Stoughton Norwegian Dancers.
Bring your family, bring
your friends. Tell everyone you know about this
performance!
They have
performed for millions of people. They have
toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada
and Norway and have been in several national folk
festivals. Each spring takes the Dancers to a different
part of the country. The
group has made 5 tours to Norway. In 1968
they were asked to dance for King
Olaf of Norway when he visited Madison,
Wisconsin.
The Norwegian Dancers endeavor to
entertain, culturally enlighten and instruct audiences
with respect to traditional Scandinavian folk dance and
authentic Norwegian bunads (costumes). The group is made
up of Stoughton High School School Sophomores, Juniors and
Seniors and every Spring goes on tour, bringing their
authentic dance, humor and fun to audiences across the
United States.
Coffee, cookies and soft drinks
will be available. A free will
offering will be collected to help offset the fees that
Skjold paid to the dancers.
