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.
