Welcome to the 152nd Annual Midsummer – Friday, June 24, 2022
Midsummer-2022Spring 2022!
Dear Friends of Midsummer,
Midsummer is Friday, June 24
and the Church Service is Sunday, June 26
the band Jaerv from Gothenburg, Sweden
will be our featured performers on June 24.
We are sending the renewal notices for the Friends of Midsummer in the same envelope as the Dalesburg Scandinavian Association membership notices, as many of you belong to both organizations. We would appreciate if you would write two separate checks as the organizations have two separate checking accounts. Thank You!
Midsummer was not held in 2020 although the fundraising letters went out before the Pandemic. Midsummer was held in 2021 and we used the funds raised in 2020.
Please visit our website: www.dalesburg.org for information about Midsummer 2022. Check out: www.facebook.com/Dalesburgmidsommar.
Thank You to the American Scandinavian Foundation in New York City for funding the performances of Jaerv in South Dakota in June.
We appreciate your continuing support of the Dalesburg Midsummer Festival. We look forward to hearing from you – our faithful supporters!
… and we hope to get back to normal!
THANK YOU!
Ron Johnson for the Friends of Midsummer
