Hyllningsfest 2011


Going to the Parade with a Parade-Threatening Sky Overhead!



On our way to the parade through a sidewalk garden!




Watching the Parade North of the City Building:





My "Better Than a Parade" Loves



Near the end of the parade some spectators raised their umbrellas against the incessant drizzle that called us back to a dry, warm home!



Keepin' it real!



Relaxed and 
changed into dry, comfy clothes!





Sean's really silly!


Ellie's silly too!






Sleepy Granddad and Chloe After the Parade!


It was a drizzly, rainy, sleepy weekend for a Hyllningsfest Celebration, but in true Swedish Immigrant spirit, Lindsborg celebrated! And in two more years, we'll do it again, Lord willing!

Hyllningsfest was fun in spite of the drizzle!
Yes! Keep publishing! There is value in blogging pictures and thoughts- value in review and retrospect- value in putting it together! Love ya!

Gotta love the Swedish heritage celebrations and traditions (most of 'em) in "Little Sweden USA! Liv and her Grandma (Farmor = Father's Mother) made the costumes. Swedish costumes in this family are pieced, cinched and patched to match the wearer through the years! However some of the costumes worn around town or by visitors are autherntic and eloborate representing a particular area of Sweden!
