HOMECOMING & HYLLNINGSFEST!!!

Hello! It’s Mariah again…

I cannot believe it’s October already! And what’s even more exciting, this week is HoMeCoMiNg and this weekend is Hyllningsfest! If you don’t know what Hyllningsfest is, let me tell you, you are missing out! It’s a three day celebration starting this Friday. Thousands of people come in, doubling or tripling the town in size. And in this small town, this is a major event! If you know anything about Lindsborg you know it’s a Swedish community (hence our mascot, the Swedes). At the
parade this Saturday there will be Swedish dancers, floats, a host of food venders, arts and crafts exhibits, and of course on Saturday is the homecoming football game vs. Ottawa! The football team is currently 4-1 and we’re gunning for our fifth big win! GO SWEDES! Oh, and of course the group of girls who I always sit with at the games will be sporting our shirts. About 20 or so of us girls got t-shirts made for the football games that say “Real Women Know Football” and we are proud supporters :) If you don’t have anything else going on this weekend you should swing by Lindsborg and join in on the festivities! Cheers!
