Syttende Mai 2006
The Stoughton
community celebrated Syttende Mai the weekend of May 19-21.
Great weather brought out enthusiastic crowds for all of the
festivities. The Stoughton Norwegian Dancers kicked
off the celebration on Wednesday with a performance at the State
Capital in Madison. They were joined by the 2006 Syttende Mai
King & Queen, Becky & Bob Greiber. On Saturday the
Dancers rode in the Kiddies' Parade and followed up with a street
performance in downtown Stoughton. Later in the afternoon they
entertained festival-goers with two performances at the Community
Building. That evening they brought eager fans onto the floor
for Norwegian dancing in the Norske Stomp. Sunday
brought more great weather and the Dancers rode their float in the
main parade. They finished their 2005-2006 season with a
spirited performance in front of a packed house at the Community
Building. Eleven seniors said their farewells: Liz Elevekrog,
Eric Klitzkie, Diana Olson, Tommy Haese, Danielle Cowan, Jake
Brandt, Katie Multhauf, Claire Ganshert, Ben Wahlin, Greta Schmalle
and Corey Markuso9n. Special thanks to all the
parents for their hard work at the dancer downtown food trailer and
at the Community Building. See you in 2006-2007! |
