About the Event
The men of the Norwegian-American “Colony” have been meeting for a traditionally prepared codfish dinner since May of 1960. Originally associated with the Sons of Norway, this independent organization still continues that tradition on the 2nd Saturday of the month between September and May (omitting the summer months). February is designated as Ladies Day, and all are invited to enjoy the cocktails, luncheon, speaker(s) and raffle.
The menu includes fresh cod, traditionally prepared, potatos, fresh vegetrable, and lefse nd rolls on the table, followed by dessert. Linie Aquavit is used to "skal to the fisken". Cocktail hour (cash bar) precedes the luncheon, and a speaker and optional raffle follow. A beef dinner can be optionally requested.
The speakers this month are Connie Wiemer & Dana Kelly of the Koshkonong Prairie Woman's Historical Society..Dana is a member of NACC Chicago through the Norwegian American Genealogy Center and Naeseth Library in Madison,…
