ably, represented Iceland.
Each country presented excellent
programs of song and dance. Tani
Bjornson was Master of
Ceremonies.
The Icelandic program began with
the Icelandic Youth Singers,
directed by Didda Wilson, to guitar
accompaniment by Rick Wilson, Jr.
and a guest from Iceland, Oskar
Valtysson. Then followed soprano
solos by Svava Sigmar, accom-
panied by LaVerne Anderson, tenor
solos by Dr. Edward Palmason and
duets by Dr. Palmason and Tani
Bjornson, accompanied by John
Sundsten.
After the musical programs, ex-
cellent motion pictures from all five
countries were shown, under the
direction of Rick Wilson.
The event ended with dancing
from 6-9 p.m. Music was furnished
by The Finlandia Trio and the
Speldosan Band.
The Nordic Festival President,
Tani Bjornson, expressed deep ap-
preciation to all committees and all
the participants. A special thank
you to Kay Sigmundsson, who
designed, made, and donated the
beautiful poster which listed the
events of the day.
President's Note
Tani Bjornson, as president of the
1981 Nordic Festival, did an
outstanding job. Whenever there
was a moment during the program
where performers were not quite
ready to go on stage, Tani stepped in
and kept the audience entertained
with amusing anecdotes and in
leading community singing where
he biad all those present singing
along with him.
It can be said that Iceland shone in
the minds of those attending, for
Tani reached out and touched them
all.
We wish to express our deep ap-
preciation to one of our most active
members. Thank yöu, Tani.
Haustfagnaður — Autumn
Dance
This was held on October 16 at the
VFW Hall in Ballard. -x
The dance theme was carried
through in decorations of autumn
News
leaves and red and gold streamers,
creating an inviting atmosphere.
Our thanks to Charlotte Thordar-
son.
At the card party "felagsvist" was
introduced, a novelty to most of us,
but greatly enjoyed; the hall rang
■with laughter. Pastor Harald Sigmar
won the prize, a cap of wool lopi,
knitted by Hulda Gudmundsson.
Refreshments were served
throughout the evening, kleinur and
ryebread with kæfa, reminders of
the good old days, when mamma or
amma did the baking at home.
Mr. Music proved skillful at selec-
ting music to suit all ages. Dancing
went on until 2:00 a.m., and it was
good to see so many young people
present.
As we recall past events we par-
ticularly wish to mention Lorene
Thordarson. One of our youngest
members, she has been very active
on the club's behalf.
She coordinated both the spring
and the fall dance. She also served
as our princess throughout the year,
taking part in parades and other
Scandinavian functions.
The success of the Autumn Dance
is largely due to her leadership and
enthusiasm. Thank you, Lorene.
