   Tre Lag Stevne 2008

Make plans to join us in Fergus Falls for the Tre Lag Stevne from August 6-9, 2008

The 2008 Tre Lag Stevne will be held at the Bigwood Event Center in Fergus Falls, Minnesota from Wednesday, August 6 through Saturday, August 9, 2008. The Bigwood Event Center adjoins the Best Western Hotel. The "Tre Lag Stevne" is a joint meeting of three lags:  Trønderlag, Gudbrandsdal and Nord Hedmark og Hedemarken lags. The Trønderlag Centennial Celebration immediately follows the Tre Lag Stevne, at the same site.

The stevne will include genealogy labs and research assistance with all the resources of our lags: books, films, maps, family histories. We will also have seminars on cultural and historical Norwegian-American topics, a tour of Norwegian influences in the Fergus Falls area, along with many other enjoyable activities! 

The stevne is open to the public, with a registration fee. Walk-in registrations will be accepted if space is available. Advance registrations are required for tours, banquet and luncheon. Participants need to make hotel reservations separately.

Additional information will be posted here as it is available. The final program schedule and registration forms will be sent to all lag members in the June 2007 newsletter. It is available to non-members by request.
