Norumbega Lodge Celebrates Juletrefest December 2, 2011

At our December cultural meeting we were entertained by the Lokensgard Blechblaser Ensemble, a magnificent eight-piece brass orchestra, with a wonderful variety of holiday music. This was followed by children of varying age playing "På låven sitter nissen" and doing traditional singing around the tree accompanied by SAMspill, as well as a sumptuous spread of seasonal goodies. There was also a gift exchange assisted by the julnisse himself.

Norumbega Lodge Celebrates 17de mai With Picnic and Parade

At 12:30 pm on Saturday, May 15, 2010 nearly 100 adults and children gathered at the Scandinavian Living Center in Newton, Mass. to step off in the annual 17th of May Norwegian Constitution Day parade. The procession looked glorious in the sunshine, with many of the participants dressed in their national or regional colors, some playing their musical instruments. A welcoming address, with a tale of the day followed. Then all enjoyed a picnic lunch or available sandwiches and hot dogs. In the afternoon came the highlight of the day - children's games with prizes and ice cream for all. Thank you to Norwegian Consul Terje Korsnes, who made time to deliver greetings to the lodge from the Norwegian royal family on his way to his daughter's graduation at Curry College. Sander Tufte and Andreas Dietzel from Innovation Norway worked with us on the event and provided the fabulous marsipankake. Sander also acted as drummer for the parade and was our speaker for the day.
