The Museum of North Idaho's celebration of Scandinavian American contributions to our local community continues this Saturday from 2-4 p.m. with Jan Olsen demonstrating how to make the "Norwegian Tortilla" Lefsa.

Scandinavian demonstrations continuing throughout October are in conjunction with the museum's feature exhibit Nordic Roots Run Deep. Saturday Oct. 9 Leif Erikson Day will be celebrated from 2-4 at the museum with Fjord horses, Pamla Silk teaching people to create the red and white woven hearts so common on Scandinavian Christmas trees, be they Danish, Swedish or Norwegian.
