6th Annual Midtsommer Celebration
Promises to be a Spectacular Event
Norway House's Midtsommer Celebration will be take place on Thursday, July 16th. First will be an outdoor "All Things Norwegian" social hour along the shore of Lake Minnetonka, enjoying the ambiance of a traditional bonfire and music, along with refreshments. The banquet and program will follow honoring five exemplary and innovative leaders in Minnesota public service who have shown the "going viking" traits of individuality, leadership, and collaboration and who work to advance the well being of all peoples.
Norway House is proud to be honoring this year: Margaret Anderson Kelliher, Betty McCollum, Roger Moe, Al Quie, and Martin Sabo. The Master Presenter will be Honorary Consul General Walter Mondale.
The 2009 Midtsommer Celebration will start with social hour and registration at 5:30. At 6:00 there will be a Bonfire Lighting Ceremony. The banquet will start at 7:00 followed by the program, then dessert and the live auction.
The BayView Event Center, in Excelsior, is a lovely venue because of its lake front open air space for the social hour and dramatic banquet hall with breathtaking views of Lake Minnetonka. Parking is no problem as there are two free lots directly across the street and Valet Parking is available as well.
The evening promises to be delightful with great music and food, beautiful surroundings, an inspiring program, and a few surprises! There will be five very special auction items which you won't want to miss out on. Watch for the invitation in the mail which will have more details about these unique and wonderful items.
