Tre Lag Stevne Program2
Velkommen til Stevne 2019!Welcome to the 17th annual joint stevne of Gudbrandsdalslag, Nord Hedmark og Hedemarken Lag, and Trønderlag of
America. Our theme, “Close Encounters of the Norwegian Kind” begins with the stories of Viking adventures and conquests and continues through the years of immigrant migrations. The Alexandria area offers an opportunity to explore our earliest Norwegian contacts. ‘Strange’ encounters will be explored at the Runestone Museum and Kensington Rune Stone Park. Other significant encounters with more recent Norwegians will be presented at the Douglas County Historical Society Museum.
Our three lags strive to continue the traditions of the original lags to provide a venue to keep in touch with our culture, renew friendships, and build connections. The talented, knowledgeable speakers we have lined up this year will entertain, enlighten, and ultimately contribute to our overall understanding of our shared heritage.
Please take full advantage of the genealogy lab, vendors, and hospitality room. Also, take the opportunity to say thank you to all of the volunteers who make this annual stevne happen. A lot of time and effort is donated to ensure we have a quality program and you have a wonderful stevne experience.
