Dinner and Dancing
The Scandinavian Club of Columbus occasionally takes time after a dinner for dances that are traditional to the countries of the "Norden." This evening Ed Kidwell and Glenn Thornbloom got everyone going with mixers and other folk dances fromlong ago. With their guidance the dances are relatively easy and they're a lot of fun. It's always a popular activity.
Club meetings are also an opportunity for members to pick up items
realted to their heritage. Carol Wickstrom (on the right in the white blouse)
keeps an inventory of merchandise from which members can choose. Candle
holders, baskets, napkins and books are some of the items she keeps on
hand. Aira Kekäle is talking with Carol about one of the items.
