Oh, what a delightful day in Minot! The air tingles with excitement as our little town celebrates the Norsk Høstfest. In a humble garage, a merry band of fathers have formed “Meat Rabbits,” their polka tunes ringing through the neighborhood like enchanted bells. Who would have thought such joyous sounds could emerge from behind an ordinary wooden fence?
At Arny’s 2.0 in Oslo Hall, a magical feast awaits! Three open-faced sandwiches, each a canvas painted with Scandinavian flavors, beckon like sirens to hungry festival-goers. For a mere $9, one can taste the very essence of the North. And as twilight falls, the renowned Garrison Keillor shall weave tales of his Prairie Home Companion, a tapestry of memories spanning 50 wondrous years. What stories shall unfold beneath the starry Dakota sky?
Got a guess at today’s celebrity writer? It’s fairytale writer and author Hans Christian Andersen
