Annual Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day) Celebration
Noon
Derks Park Shelter

(just off Kensington near Target)
We'll be celebrating Syttende Mai (literally the 17th of May)

Otherwise known as Constitution Day, this is the day Norwegians
commemorate the signing of their constitution in 1814, and it is a popular holiday among Norwegian Americans as well.
Bring the family for a meal, games, and prizes.
The lodge will provide hot dogs, lefse, and ice cream.
Lodge members are asked to bring a side dish (with utensils and ready to serve).
All are welcome!
