A SYTTENDE MAI CELEBRATION!On May 22, 2011 we'll come together to celebrate Norwegian Independence Day, Syttende mai! Since May 17, 2011 is on a Tuesday, we will observe the holiday as a get together at A Music City Viking Member's home in West Nashville.  From Wikipedia's page on the Norwegian Constitutional Day:
The Norwegian Constitution Day is the National Day of Norway and is an official national holiday observed on May 17 each year. Among Norwegians, the day is referred to simply as Syttende mai (meaning May Seventeenth), Nasjonaldagen (The National Day) or Grunnlovsdagen (The Constitution Day), although the latter is less frequent. Since May 17, 2011 is on a Tuesday, we will observe the holiday as a get together at Susan Collier's home in West Nashville. If you wish to get directions to Susan's home, please call our webmaster, Matt Bjorke at (615) 815-9424 or email him here. |
