norsk hostfest

It has been a busy several weeks here in North Dakota.  We will try to catch you up in the next week but first lets go back before the previous post to 2nd of October when we went to the Norsk Hostfest. 

The Norsk Hostfest is North America's largest Scandavian festival and happens every year in Minot!  It is a festival to celebrate and partake in the culture and enterainment of the Scandavian people.  Check out the website to learn more (click here)!

We went to the festival again this year.  While many vendors and sites were the same it is always fun to go.  They have a military appreciation day and we were able to attend with good friends, Matt and Mandy. 

The artwork is always sunning to me.  While it is not the style I would decorate with, it is still beautiful and takes a lot of work!  The picture below is the typical Norsk style of painting that can be seen all over the festival. 

 Of course we also had to see our old favorites: the tatting, the wood turning, and the troll chair. 

 Overall it was a great day and fun to experience the Hostfest again this year.
