Flere Lag Stevne
Several ("flere") bygdelags convene for a convention ("stevne") every year in early August.
This stevne features tours, genealogy research, cultural programs, entertainment, banquet, lag membership meetings and more!
The Flere Lag Stevne
An annual meeting of several groups of Norwegian-Americans. Celebrating our shared Norwegian ancestry & culture.
Many years ago each lag held their own stevne, then realized they could share in overall costs, invite a broader range of speakers, attract quality vendors, etc. For a number of years, it was a meeting of three lags ("tre lag stevne") which has now grown to five lags and is known as the "flere lag stevne" as a result. We share in group tours, genealogy research, banquets, group photographs and much more.
Become a member to enjoy all the benefits of the annual stevne!
