Syttende Mai

Celebrating Syttende Mai at my great-great uncle's farm
in Canada in 1913.

Yesterday, we celebrate Syttende Mai in Dalton it was the 200th anniversary
of the Norwegian constitution.    There was a marching band, this Viking ship, and
people of Norwegian heritage, carrying Norwegian flags that all 
made the walk through downtown Dalton.

This wedding dress is from the Vang Valdres area in Norway.
My Dahlager ancestors came from Vang Valdres.
