The board of Libby Nordicfest held their annual retreat and started the planning process for the 2016 Nordicfest.
The annual celebration, now entering its 32nd year, features a celebration of the Libby area’s Scandinavian heritage. Events include parades, food vendors and a craft show. Nordicfest will be held the second weekend in September, and the board members, said Ray Eanes, are always looking for volunteers to help with the festival. Anyone interested in helping should contact one of the board members for additional information.
