Columbus International Festival, November 8-9, 2008
Veteran's Memorial Auditorium, Columbus

Scandinavian Club of Columbus at the International Festival

by Michael Lindner.

The Scandinavian Club of Columbus enjoyed a successful participation in the annual International Festival in Columbus, Ohio Nov. 8 – 9,  2007. We won first prize for the Education category thanks in large part to all who helped create the giftboxes demonstrating the 8 UN Goals. We also received a $50 certificate toward our booth next year.

The UN-Festival theme this year was UN Milleneum Goals. This was an opportunity for club members to create 'Gift boxes' for under our tree, each demonstrating one of the goals. The vignettes of the 8 UN Boals were designed by Steinn/Kristin Jonsson, Åke/Ingrid Hellström, Kaitlin kilkka, Päivi Rajala-Schultz/JJ Schultz, Michael Lindner, Sharon Carlson, Carol/Ed Savolaine, and Dave/Lynn Kantner.

Visitors could enjoy a variety of tasty items from the booth, as well as, see some crafts and cooking demonstrations. Our own Lucia even joined us for the Parade of Nations.
