Our October meeting featured the annual Norwegian Folk Arts, Crafts and Hobbies exhibition, always an
entertaining and interesting event. Members exhibited and described their handcrafted Norwegian items, and talked about how they became interested and received training, and what satisfaction they derive from their folk art, craft, or hobby.

Thank you to all the participants: Tina Keune, Pat DeRoche, Karen Doty, Christine Meloni, Marie Hansen, Frank Jones, Burt Koske, Marit Grachow, Bing Sisson, Emilie Pade, Carolyn Figueiredo, Judy Kee and grandchildren Jason and Caroline Pade.
