Midsummer Scandinavian Dinner

Midsummer, a traditional celebration of the Summer solstice, Midsummer is the longest day of the year. The celebration of the Summer solstice dates back to pre-Christian times. Midsummer is typically associated with nature and with the hope for a good harvest in the coming season. In Sweden, Midsummer is even celebrated as a national holiday.

As with many Scandinavian traditions, celebrating with others goes hand in hand with good food. We would like to invite you to celebrate Midsummer with an authentic Scandinavian dinner featuring Finnish Stew, Swedish rice pudding, Norwegian fruit soup and home baked bread, cardamom bread, bars and beverages.

The dinner will be held at the Lakeside Town Hall.

The Midsummer Dinner is sponsored by the Old Brule Heritage Society and is held as a fundraiser to aid in the preservation of the Davidson Windmill and the archiving of historical information concerning rural Douglas County.

In conjunction with the dinner, tours of the Davidson Windmill and Eskolin Log House will be available on Friday June 22nd from 3:00 to 5:00pm and on Saturday June 23rd from 10:00am to 3:00pm. A free will donation is requested for tours.
