2B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017 50 YEARS OF THE ASTORIA SCANDINAVIAN MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL ful festival our volunteers Tradition! have put together for you to enjoy this year. It is also an This is what the Asto- ria Scandinavian Midsum- mer Festival is all about: The celebration of traditions and customs that our fami- lies brought to the U.S. from their homeland. My family immigrated and kept their traditions and customs alive as did many other families from the five Scandinavian countries. I, along with many others, cel- ebrate our ability to keep these traditions alive for ours and future generations to come. Our beautiful festival is celebrating the amazing milestone of 50 years — 50 years of Danish, Finn- ish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish entertainment, food, music, court mem- bers, anthems, volunteers and a multitude of mem- ories to share with future generations. I urge anyone who has been involved with the Asto- ria Scandinavian Midsum- mer Festival in years past to attend and see the wonder- invitation to those who have never experienced our fes- tival to come and see what you have been missing all the years. You need not be Scandinavian to enjoy all that we have to offer! The volunteers have worked hard to put together a celebration of honoring the past with an eye on the future. As the current festival chairperson, I welcome you to come and share the mem- ories, renew old friendships, meet new friends and make new memories at an amaz- ing festival centered on tra- ditions old and new. Come and take pride in your heritage, or experience the traditions of a culture new to you. Kiitos!
