Midsommars Dag Festival—2011

These are some pictures taken at Stanton's Midsommars Dag Fest held on the campus of the Swedish Heritage and Cultural Center on the evening of 6/12/11. The festival celebrates the summer solstice (longest day of the year) and is patterned after the popular Swedish celebration. Our celebration is held on the Sunday of or before that date.

We were greeted by these two young Swedes.

The American and Swedish flags fly together.
