FARMGIRLS ON THE LOOSE: "There's No Place Like Home!"
Thursday, May 2nd - Sunday, May 5th, 2013
Lindsborg, Kansas
It’s time for the Farmgirls on the Loose to follow the yellow brick road and go to Lindsborg, Kansas, “Little Sweden USA," the land of the Wild Dala, Swedish meatballs, shopping and more! We’ll be glamping along the Smoky Hill River from Thursday, May 2nd - Sunday, May 5th, 2013.
Our weekend will be a step back into time to the land of the Swedish pioneers where those brave immigrant women helped settle the west.
We’ll see buffalo, a historic mill, Swedish folk culture, the vast lands of Kansas, and the beautiful faces of Farmgirl sisters.
We’ll hear stories from the first settlers with author Linda Hubalek, folk music from local musicians, the famous Kansas wind, and the voices of your Farmgirl friends in person.
We’ll taste the sweetness of Swedish Pancakes, the fresh brew of locally roasted coffee, a smorgasbord of flavors at local eateries and the delight of Farmgirl friendship.
It’s a weekend full of adventure and surprises that you won’t want to miss! So join us on this adventure today!
Want to join in on the fun? Don’t want to be left in the dust?
Contact April for more details and how you can be included on this fabulous trip Today!
Give a shout out if you're going with us! |

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I don't know that I am very Scandinavian if at all but my husband and children have some Norwegian ancestry. My ancestry is more Germanic, Irish, Scotch, French, etc.

I am 50% Finnish, but my family speaks Swedish, as they are from the border town, Sunby. (I know a few words and phrases.)
I am also 15% Norwegian or so on my mother's side. 65% Scandinavian!
Jättefint. :)

Hello ladies,
I just dug out my mother's Krumkake pan and my farmor just lent me her traditional bunad. (Oh boy!) Looks like my summers at Norwegian camp will finally come in handy! :) Counting down the days!
