Celebrating The Scandanavian Heritage

Despite the weather last Saturday (It was the day that hurricane Ike made landfall here in Texas), the festivities at the Wooden Spoon went on without a hitch. We scandanavians NEVER let a little bad weather get in the way of a good time!

I told my Minnesotan/Norwegian influenced stories inside the building along with all the other performers rather then in the tent outside. We all enjoyed the music of Norwegian born & Minnesota raised Greg Briland, a Hardanger fiddler who played a wide assortment of polka music & other tunes. Also on hand was Alan Beck with his accordian who played a tune that I KNOW I heard as a child up at my Grandma Torgerson's house in Berner, Minnesota.

A good time was had by all!
