On our theme day for Norwegian Constitution Day last Friday, May 17, I posted a photo of this Mindekirken. On Sunday the congregation, Norwegians from many parts of the Twin Cities and Minnesota, plus wanna-be Norwegians attended a concert and services here and marched in a parade afterwards. A picnic and games for the children ended the festivities before the deluge of rain arrived. Here are some of the happy faces.
Cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Kate, they are fabulous photos. I hope you can add them to the CDP link.
ReplyDeleteThis is a superb post! Love all the costumes. But, as a Swede (well, a wee bit or Norwegian) I can't imagine a "wanna-be Norwegian"!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding!
Wonderful shots of the festive costumes and folks wearing them! Although I would be in the "wanna-be" group, joining in looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI love all those costumes and smiling faces. This looks like great fun.
ReplyDeleteoh, so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI've got a bit of Norway in my roots. Would love to travel there someday. You're always up to something fun Kate!
ReplyDeleteThe costumes are marvelous and I especially like the pictures of the children.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're having so much fun Kate, lovely capture.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! If there are Norwegians in Versailles, they are in hiding! :-)
ReplyDeletefun post...that last girl is darling...great smile!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely. The Norwegian connection is still thriving in Minnesota, I see.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. The shots of the children are the best.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have felt at home here :-)
ReplyDeleteThree years ago I attended the celebration in Brooklyn - very special for home-grown Norwegian.
