If you've wondered about what is going on on Park Avenue ...

It is getting a face lift next to the American Swedish Institute at
26th and Park where they are adding a new building and cafe.

Here are some details:

Ten years ago, yikes, I went to my first FEST! event - "Valborgs"
their bonfire and games event.  I was excited to find a group
connected to modern Swedish and Scandinavian traditions.

If you want to meet lots of friendly folks and always a large
collection of international residents in the Twin Cities, join us
this year.  Be sure to RSVP < f_e_s_t at yahoo.com > by May 6 and don't
miss the games.
