For those that will be here Saturday (Dec. 2nd) there will be several activities to choose from. Mr2Mch said he would lead a ride on some of the back roads (paved) and JT is planning on leading a more dirty route.
For the more sedate or history buffs among us, this weekend is the time of the annual Norweigan Country Christmas Tour. The nearby community of Norse was founded by early settlers from Norway in the 1800's. The tour will include several historic sites that you may find interesting. More information can be found here

For the vintage car buffs, the Clifton Classic Chassis Auto Museum will also be open. Additionally the newly restored Edwin Olsen Railroad Museum will be open for tours.
Tickets for the tour are $12 each and can be purchased that day. Thee Saint and I plan on hitting some of these sites in the Grey Goose and you are welcome to tag along if you think you can keep up. If you don't want to do the tour, there will be several free activities downtown and carriage rides wills be available
One of our favorite events during this festival is the Norwegian Luncheon This meal is classic Norwegian meatballs, gravy, sides and some great deserts NOTE: NOT LUTFISK!
Sometimes there is a group of Norwegian that come to the United States just to attend this event. We have been fortunate enough to sit and visit with some of these great folks.
The meal is $10 a person and tickets go fast. If you wish to join us for the meal you will need to let me know ASAP and I will purchase tickets for you (yes, you gota pay me back). Tickets will probably sell out in the next few days, so let me know ASAP.
Oh, for those of you hankering for Lutfisk The nearby town of Cransfils Gap will be having their Lutfisk dinner that evening.
