And in Norway, it’s HERRINGFEST! There’s the traditional RUNNING OF THE HERRING! Men match their courage against herring running through the streets of Oslo! The fish are dead, so there’s really not much danger. There’s THE TOSSING OF THE HERRING! Muscular young men see how far they can chuck a herring. Extra points if you hit a foreigner! And my personal favorite.....THE 24 HOURS OF HERRING. An endurance race that pits man and herring against 24 hours of tricky curves and blazing fast straightaways! The losers are eaten by cats. That includes the drivers. Enjoy some tasty herring cake and wash it down with a glass of cold, delicious herring milk!
Don’t forget LefseFest....
