Time is running out to buy
tickets for the popular 14th Annual Lutefisk Dinner being hosted by the Vegas
Viking Lodge of the Sons of Norway.
The dinner will be held
Saturday, January 28 at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Boulder City Elks Lodge. But
tickets must be purchased by January 20 – none will be sold at the door. The
cost is $18 for adults and $5 for children 10 years old and younger.
On the menu this year:
Lutefisk with melted butter or white sauce, roasted pork, boiled potatoes, peas
and carrots, lefse, coffee and iced tea, Norwegian and other cookies and
aquavit, called the “water of life.”
“This is a popular and fun
social event each year for local Scandinavians,” said Erik Pappa, president of
the Vegas Viking lodge. “Lutefisk, codfish soaked in and then drained of lye,
has a reputation all its own. Some of us have grown to love it. Our lutefisk
chef is especially good at making it.”
Anyone wishing to purchase
tickets should send a check, made out to the Sons of Norway, to Gwen Knighton,
2156 Marstons Mills Ct., Henderson, NV 89044. Please include a self-addressed,
stamped envelope and a note indicating the names of those attending, whether
they are going at 3 or 6 p.m., and a telephone number. For information, call
(702) 869-5775. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are not available at
the door.
Proceeds will benefit the Sons
of Norway Vegas Viking Lodge, a non-profit organization formed in May 1992 to
promote Norwegian heritage through a variety of special events featuring
traditional and contemporary programs. The lodge also operates an annual
scholarship program.
