It's that time again. The Little Norway Festival is this week so I am going to be busy. I'll check in as time permits.

A year ago here on Mitkof Island.

Tomorrow, Main Street will look like this.

They still do the Leif Ericsson parade in Brooklyn every year - Brooklyn NY had a large Norwegian population up through the 1970s.

That’s so cool to see!

Maybe 50 years ago you could find more traces of Scandinavian/Nordic culture in the SF Bay Area, but they are disappearing. The famed Nordic House (originally in Oakland, moved to Berkeley) closed this January. I’ll miss it.
