Trønderlag of America
is sponsoring a heritage tour to the Trøndelag region of Norway in 2005.
The tour
will include visits to Trondheim, Røros, Selbu, Stjørdal, Orkanger, Ørdal,
Rissa, Soknedal, and other places
in Nord and Sør-Trøndelag.
Our goal is to help lag members
arrange for visits to their family farms and meetings with relatives. Four
days have been set aside at the end of the group tour for participants to
make these visits. We can assist you with this endeavor, if you have
not yet made contacts. But this needs to begin well ahead of our scheduled
departure date. After we receive your deposit, we will contact you to
begin these preparations.
We have enough participants already registered to
make the trip a "go". Space is limited and will be booked on a
"first come, first served" basis, dependent upon airline seat
availability now, so we encourage you to submit your deposits quickly.
The 13-day trip, arranged by Brekke Tours & Travel, will depart from Minneapolis on
Thursday, Sept. 8,
2005 and after a connecting flight, we will arrive in Trondheim on
Sept. 9. Flight connections can be arranged from other departure points.
The complete tour
itinerary is listed on a separate page.
