More Swedish Dancers

A few more of the 30 Swedish dancers that performed  in Stockholm, Wi last Saturday night.

Swedish Dancers

On our sunny Saturday road trip down the Mississippi we discovered these dancers in Stockholm, WI. The Nivren Folkdansgille are from Sundsvall, Sweden and the  30 musicians and dancers were scheduled to perform Swedish folkdances and sing, as well as discuss their costumes. They even were going to teach some of the dances! At the outdoor square they gave us a sample of what was in store that evening.  I wanted to join them at their free potluck performance but we were on our way back to St. Paul.  I felt a bit cheated that we missed it.  

Lovely to Look At...ABC WEDNESDAY "L"

Marge Lindemann from Cumberland, WI taught emotionally disturbed teen-agers for 25 years but had no time to do art. After she retired she has been making originally designed garments, scarves and wall pieces from hand painted and dyed silk for the past 9 years. I met her in an art store in Stockholm, Wi where she was demonstrating her art-in-progress on a silk scarf with an autumn leaf motif. She has outlets for her work in several Wisconsin towns, including Algoma, a Lake Michigan hamlet in Kewaunee County which happened also to be the small town where I was born. Small world!
