Summary: Every year around the time of May 17th, members of the Sons of Norway Lodge will host a noon lunch beginning at 11 a.m. at Gyda Varden Lodge. This lunch is in honor of Syttende mai and will include many, many tasty treats. The weekend of the independence day is very special to the Norwegians because it means it's time to get ready for summer. Everyone gets really excited and it's just a week of celebration.
My Thought: I think this is a very fun time in Norway because it sounds like they get to eat A LOT of food and celebrate with family. This day is probably very similar to our 4th of July. Except it doesn't sound like they have a bunch of fireworks. The lunch that the members of the Sons of Norway Lodge puts on has a lot of delicious sounding food involved. Such as, cream cake, cream pudding, sweet soup, and Norwegian sandwiches. After reading this article i became very hungry.
