    Skogfjorden 50th Anniversary


       


    Event Description



    Skogfjorden stille og vakker du er … her hvor jeg går og drømmer.

    Skogfjorden feirer 50 år i 2012.  Concordia Language Villages is celebrating 50 years of Norwegian in the woods of Minnesota! With events for former and current staff, villagers, and parents from Skogfjorden’s summer and year-round programs, the celebration will be held June 22- 24, 2012.

    Bekreft, forny og utvid dine forbindelser med Skogfjorden!
    Affirm your past connections with Skogfjorden at a casual gathering in Bemidji with small food and big conversations on Friday evening, June 22. 

    Renew your current connections with Skogfjorden on Saturday, June 23, starting with the avslutningsprogram for outgoing villagers and a midday meal. Join in (or lead!) afternoon activities culled from generations of interessegrupper, formingsaktiviteter, språktimer, kretser, and more. Of course, no celebration would be complete without a bankett and a kveldsprogram to top off the day! 

    Extend your future connections with Skogfjorden on Sunday, June 24 with stillestund ved Bukkesjøen and brunsj ala past and current kitchen staff. 

    All activities on-site will be child, villager, and family inclusive. Bli med!

    Cost

    To cover the cost of the event and meals on site at Skogfjorden, we are asking that each participant purchase event tickets (includes a souvenir package) and/or meal tickets. Please note that if you do not plan to participate in the meals, you may register for the weekend festivities without purchasing a meal ticket. 

    The event and souvenir package includes items such as a navnskilt and other Skogfjorden swag commemorating this event. One meal ticket covers the cost of three meals on Saturday and Sunday: lunch and the bankett dinner on Saturday and brunsj on Sunday morning. The event on Friday night will be held at a rented facility in Bemidji with catered appetizers and a cash bar.

    The cost for registration and the commemorative package is $20 for adults and $10 for children. Meal tickets for adults are $30; meal tickets for children are $20. The cost for the Friday night event is to be determined and will be collected at the event.
