Scandinavian Fest
by Stanhope, NJ, 07874
Good thing I came back from ole Britannia for awhile, so I can enjoy the 19th annual Scandinavian Fest in Stanhope, NJ ..seeing as I shamefully missed it last year.
An all-day culture, history and ethnic festival of the Nordic area -
Denmark with Faroe Islands and Greenland, Estonia, Finland with Åland, Iceland, Norway, Sápmi and Sweden with Scania. "All day" with as much relevance as your Sunday meeting allows it to be. Some have morning meetings, but too, some have the afternoon meeting, and unfortunately the fest quits at the appalling 18:00 tick. Still, hope you can make it!
Pricing:
Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the gate.
Admission is $12 at the gate, $10 for seniors (about 30¢ per performance). Those in authentic Nordic folk dress (whip out those costumes ..I know you got 'em. And not like August is a hot month or anything) and children under 12 are free.
Advance ticket purchase can be made here.
If you decide to purchase at the gate, at least save a buck by printing off the coupon found here.
$5 Parking fee.

Nooo..skip the wedding! You're gonna have funny tanlines for it anyways.
i know i tried it on the other day and they show up so bad. and its past 4th of july weekend, so my tanline is completely set. no helping it now.
Don't worry..you should see my back. It's horrible because it started peeling and I look like a leper

Yea her back looks pretty disgusting!! Julia skip the wedding and go to the fest. It'll be fun.
hahah. yeah. i can just give the really expensive dress to jessica and he can go in my place.
Unless he dies of some odd kidney disease first.
mary and my dad said it might be a sign of him gettin diabetes like his brother.
Oh that makes sense or it could be a kidney infection my mom said.
whatever it is... i have his eulogy ready so i'm fine. i just have to give it to him for revisions. it'll be a beautiful burial i imagine.
And the will reading will be nice because I'm gonna get his car.
