Kringen Youth Klubb met Saturday, April 13 with a good attendance in spite of many other
area activities.
Our program for the April meeting focused on Syttende Mai so our youth would better
understand the importance of this special day in Norwegian history. We touched on freedom,
pride, thankfulness, and respect for the flag. We also talked about celebrations, parades, especially
the children’s parade, the barnetoget, and the emphasis placed on children at this event. We also
touched on music, fiddlers, hot dogs and ice cream! Large picture display boards were used for
youth to observe various events with the idea that they would get a feel for what happens in Norway on Syttende Mai and make some comparisons as to how we at Kringen Lodge SON celebrate
the day. In addition to our visuals, we were also able to see a film of an actual children’s parade
taking place in Norway on the Syttende Mai. “Many Thanks” to the Rygg family for preparing the
film and sharing with our youth to enjoy!
After the film, Kringen Youth made flags. Our morning concluded with juice and a special
Syttende Mai treat referred to as Lompe. Lompe is a hot dog or polse wrapped with lefse. They
were wonderful and loved by everyone. Many youth and adults came back for “seconds”! In Norway, our little party would be referred to as a “polka fest”.
Last but not least, “Tusen Takk” to SON members Betty Stadum, Kari-Jo Hanson and Gladys
Hendrickson who did a super job preparing the Lompe.

KRINGEN YOUTH KLUBB MINI TOUR
NORWEGIAN FJORD HORSE FARM TOUR, ROSLYN, SD
“Sturdy, sweet, strong, smart, and sociable.” That’s how owners describe their Norwegian Fjord
horses … and … people who love “Fjords” love them fiercely! “Fjords” are best loved for their
temperament.
Saturday, June 1, brings the highlight of the year, which is our one-day bus trip to the
Rob¬ert and Sally Kjorsvik Norwegian Fjord Horse Farm, Roslyn, SD. The Kjorsviks are wonderful hosts and provide so much fun for the Youth. They greet the bus with open arms and we are off
to see the horses!
The Norwegian Fjord horses are so beautiful and gentle with the kids. The horses love to be
fed, petted, and “made a fuss over.” They even display some jealousy as they nudge one another to
get attention from the kids. These horses are delightful.
Lunch will be served at the farm, and no one will leave hungry!
We leave the farm about 1:00 pm and drive to Sisseton, SD, to enjoy Ft Sisseton Days Historical Festival!
This is a “fun” trip and I encourage Youth and Adults alike to join in on this adventure.
“TRY IT …YOU WILL ENJOY!”
In Friendship, “Ha det bra”

KRINGEN POSTEN - MAY 2013
Cultural Corner
Alt for Norge −
Competition and
Norwegian TV
Series
Alt for Norge, though marketed in the United States as The Great Norway Adventure, is a Norwegian reality television series which debuted in 2010 and appears on TVNorge, the first advertising-supported Norwegian channel. The series features Americans of Norwegian descent, but who have never
visited Norway and who are willing to participate in a 10-week competition that is aired on TVNorge. The ultimate aim of the participants is to win the $50,000 prize and a chance to meet their Norwegian
relatives. Twelve Americans are chosen each year to participate in this exciting adventure. A television episode about the activities of the visiting Americans is produced about what is happening to the
group each week and is later aired on TVNorge. This very popular TV series won the Gullruten Award,
Norway’s version of the Emmys, for the best reality show in 2011 and again in 2012. Alt for Norge is
the Royal Motto of Norway.
Amy Hesteness from Moorhead and a member of our Sons of Norway Lodge, was chosen as one
of the participants in last summer’s competition. She will be presenting the Cultural Program on Tuesday evening, May 7th at 6:45 p.m. In addition to telling about her very exciting time in Norway, she
is also bringing a DVD of the television program that was produced about their adventure during the
week of the 17th of May. That will be an excellent way for our Sons of Norway members to become
acquainted with how the 17th of May is celebrated in Norway and what the Alt for Norge group did in
Norway to commemorate that important date in Norwegian history. After being chosen, Amy’s adventure began in April last year with a short stop at Ellis Island
where she met the other eleven cast members. Then, following their overseas flight, they enjoyed a
beautiful yacht trip from Sweden to Norway, - a wonderful way for the twelve Norwegian Americans
to become better acquainted. In most of the ten TV episodes, the cast was divided into two teams. As
a team they were faced with various competitions, held in many diverse geographical areas of Norway,
- always with the underlying theme of learning more about Norway, Norwegians and oneself. One
week they were skiing a biathlon above the Arctic Circle, another pumping oil on an oil rig in the
North Sea. They were street performers on an Oslo thoroughfare, before dressing in various bunads for
the Syttende Mai celebration. --- and many more adventures. Come and hear all about it at our 7th of
May Cultural Program!
All of the filming for this series was done during the spring and summer, but was not aired until
later in the summer. Alt for Norge is seen by 700,000 to 800,000 viewers each week so it is one of the
most watched television programs in Norway. Season I was won by Seattle resident, Doug Miner and Season 2 was won by Wisconsin native and Colorado resident, Matti Rowe. Season 3 (2012) was won by 32 year old Todd Ferris from
Zionsville, Indiana. He is married to Megan and they have two children. He is a realtor with the
F.C. Tucker Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. After winning the competition, Todd was flown by
helicopter to a location where he was met by many of his Norwegian relatives, including his mother,
Connie, who had flown in from the United States for that very special occasion. Todd’s parents, Rick
and Connie Ferris are members of the Hadeland Lag so we learned about Todd’s adventures in an
article that Connie wrote for the Brua, the Newsletter of the Hadeland Lag that Evonne and I have
edited for more than twenty years. Plan to attend our May 7th Cultural Program when Amy Hesteness will tell us much more about
her adventures in Norway last summer. Verlyn D. Anderson, Cultural Director
Kringen Lesering – Book Discussion Group
Kringen Lesering, Book Discussion Group will meet on Monday noon, May 13 in the Lounge to discuss
our May selection “We are going to pick potatoes” - Norway and the Holocaust, the Untold Story by Irene
Levin Berman. She tells an important and-- for most Americans-- unknown story about the destiny of
the Norwegian Jews during World War II. She was born and lived in Norway before she immigrated
to the United States as a young adult. She was only four years old when her family fled from their
home in Oslo to Sweden to avoid being picked up by the Nazis and shipped to a concentration camp in
Germany. It is a very interesting account of the Nazis’ attempt to kill all the Jews in Europe, - even the
fewer than 2,000 Jews who were living in Norway when Germany invaded Norway on April 9, 1940. It is a book that you will long remember. The Kringen Lesering does not meet in the summer, but if you
want to read ahead, our September choice is From the Hidewood: Memories of a Dakota Neighborhood by Robert Amerson. Copies of these books are available for sale at Zandbroz Variety, 420 Broadway.
You can also check them out from local public and university libraries. We have a limited number of
copies at our Kringen Library. All Kringen members are encouraged to join our Lesering.

Salmon Burgers with Vegetable Slaw
To Make the Vegetable Slaw:
• 1 ½ to 2 lbs. of ground salmon fillet
• 1 cup fine dried bread crumbs
• 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 4 large shallots, chopped
• ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 6 onion rolls, split
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
To Make the Burgers (Serves 6):
For the Salmon Burgers
For the Vegetable Slaw
• 6 cups finely shredded mixed green and red cabbage
• 2 carrots, shredded
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 3 green onions, both white and tender green
portions, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp. whole-grain mustard
• salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ cup pine nuts
KRINGEN POSTEN - MAY 2013
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper and green
onions. In a small bowl mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar,
garlic and mustard to create the dressing for the slaw. Combine the
salad and dressing mixture, mix well. Season to your taste and refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Prior to serving, toast the pine nuts and
add them to the salad. Toss lightly one more time.
Combine the salmon, bread crumbs, cucumber, shallots and parsley
and mix together gently, making sure all ingredients are thoroughly
mixed. Divide the salmon mixture into 6 equal portions and shape
into a patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Refrigerate
covered on a plate until ready to grill.
Prepare your grill for direct grilling at medium-high heat. Lightly
oil the grill rack or grill pan. Place the patties on the grilling surface
over the hottest part of the grill. Cook the patties for about 5-6
minutes per side, turning the patties once. Test to see if the patties
are done with a sharp knife.
Right before the burgers are done place the bun halves on the grill
cut side down and toast lightly.
Bunads
Hurrah – for what?
On the meaning of the Syttende Mai celebration Syttende Mai is Constitution Day – the
Constitution that was ratified by the National
Assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814, and has through
some changes seen us through to today. As a symbol the Constitution represents also two great
themes, national independence and political
freedom – democracy and the rights of citizenship. Norwegian patriotism of the 1800s tied
these two aspects together as the idea ”Norwegian freedom.” Later on this concept of freedom
took on new meanings, for example international peace work. Syttende Mai is also a family
day, but the difference from all other Norwegian
holidays is first and foremost this: it is the only
day the most important events take place out in
the public space rather than in the four walls of
the home. Syttende Mai has become a day for
the children, even though it was not originally.
The children’s parades became a big success from
1870 on, and have become the most popular
event on Syttende Mai. And with the children
in the city center, many other things follow: ice
cream, soda and sausages.
Improvements
Planned for
Palace Grounds
Members of the Norwegian Parliament
voted to fund a NOK 70 million upgrade to
the Royal Palace grounds in Oslo. Set to begin
after the conclusion of the annual Syttende Mai
parade, the upgrades will focus on improving
drainage and preventing gravel displacement
onto nearby streets during heavy rainfall. Currently there is around 13,200 square meters
of gravel surrounding the palace. Parliament
members agreed that the current ground cover
“is not representative” and that a more attractive solution should be found. A new permanent form of ground cover and an improved
drainage system will be implemented and
completed before Norway’s bicentennial celebrations in 2014.

CELEBRATING
CONSTITUTION
DAY  1814
Syttende Mai
(17th of May)
There is a something special about owning a bunad and wearing it on Syttende
Mai, Norway’s National Day. Let’s take a look at some of the history behind Norway’s
national costume. Its roots date back to the Norwegian Romantic Nationalism period in the mid-19th century when, at that time, Norway was determined to secure
a solid cultural identity. The Norwegian bunad is unique in that it is recognizable as
Norway’s official dress, but it is individualized based on regional characteristics of
color, pattern, style, and accessories. Since the 19th century the traditional costume
has developed with the modern age and Norwegians who are lucky enough to own
a bunad are always proud to show it off at special occasions like confirmations, weddings, funerals and national holidays. The original costume of Norway has evolved
with deep-rooted traditions based on everyday folk attire of old rural farmers mixed
with the festive characteristics of old-style customs and local creativity. The interest
for a traditional costume for men and woman was popularized when Norwegian
Romantic Nationalism became widespread between 1840-1867, although there is
evidence that the local folk costumes date back to the Middle Ages in Norway. Norwegians were eager to reinforce their own official cultural identity under Danish
control and a strong part of that identity was obtaining a traditional costume that
could symbolize national pride. By the early 20th century the bunad movement was
gaining momentum thanks in part to one woman’s inspiration, Hulda Garborg.
Garborg was a pioneer in promoting interest in the bunad tradition and rousing
a strong Norwegian sentiment for national pride. The appeal grew and eventually
distinct regional styles of the costume were fashioned for not only rural folk but for
the urban elite as well. Regions of Norway designed special bunads based on the
customs and traditions from their area. Descendants must follow stylistic guidelines
of their ancestor’s origins when making or purchasing a bunad of their own. Strict
requirements are in place by Norway’s National Bunad and Folk Costumes Council (Bunad og Folkedraktradet) who promote bunad knowledge, sustain traditions
of the folk costumes and provide advice in the construction of new bunad models. Today the bunad is widely recognized as one of the most authentic and popular
traditional folk costumes in the world. Making or purchasing a quality bunad can
cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 so it is often viewed as a status symbol for
those who can afford them. The outfits are often passed down in families and typically when adolescents go through confirmation or turn 16 they are given their own
authentic bunad. Because of the hefty cost, it is important that costumes can be
easily altered for a lifetime of use. The fabrics used to make a bunad typically consist
of wool skirts for women and wool pants and jackets for men. The men’s vests and
the women’s bodices, aprons, bonnets and capes may be contingent on what was
available when the bunad was first designed, but silk materials and lustrous woolen
fabrics are most common, and don’t forget the cotton blouse to go underneath. The
embroidery, color and shape give the bunad the most distinction and character, followed, of course by the accessories and unique jewelry called solje that are key to any
genuine bunad.
It is truly a beautiful sight to see all the beautiful bunads out in Norway on
Syttende Mai. Folks line the streets waving flags, proud to show off their regional
costume and excited to celebrate their enduring cultural identity that their ancestors
fashioned so long ago.
