Sons of Norway - Storelva Lodge
We provide fun and informative programs including Scandinavian food workshops, music, crafts, culture, and geneology. Every June we hold our Midsummer Fest.
One of the highlights of our year is our Jule Bord, a Norwegian Christmas dinner, complete with Lutefisk and lefse! If you are interested in Norwegian heritage and culture, we invite you to come join us.
