I have been invited to participate and promote Beyond the Cold: An American's Warm Portrait of Norway at Norsk Høstfest, Norwegian Fall Festival, the largest Scandinavian festival in North America, Oct. 1-Oct. 4 in Minot, North Dakota. The annual event, now in its 31st year, draws 60,000 people, including from Norway and the other Scandinavian countries. Høstfest is consistently among the top 100 tourist destinations in the United States by the American Bus Association. This is a great opportunity and I hope to write a daily blog so subscribe to the RSS feed below. Entertainment includes The Beach Boys, Charley Pride, Oak Ridge Boys, Randy Travis, Kenny Rogers, as well as Norwegian cultural music. Norwegian culinary treats will be available as well as clothing. I learned The Norseman, the magazine for Norwegians, people of Norwegian descent and friends of Norway in other countries, will be there. I've written articles for them and they reviewed the book. I anticipate the International Summer School at the University of Oslo, which I attended, will also be there and maybe I will run into people I know -- or at least sell books to them. And there should be plenty of other connections I will be able to make. For information on the festival, visit the web site: http://www.hostfest.com
