On Saturday, September 21, the Town of Sweden’s annual Harvest Fest was held at the Sweden Farmers Museum on Lake Road South. On a sunny, warm day, the event provided demonstrations, displays, arts, vendors, bake sales, music, and hay ride tours of the nearby cemetery.
Lori Skoog, a member of the festival planning committee said, “We were very pleased with the number of vendors and exhibitors and the weather could not have been more perfect. This festival gives us the opportunity to celebrate our community’s farming roots, attracting residents from near and far.”
The volunteers who worked on planning and running the festival were: Marion Dilger, Kathy Goetz, Don Grentzinger, Christine Hunt, Lori Skoog, Susan Smith, Marie Bell, and Jim Weinkauf.
