Kräftskiva April 5!
Award-winning Swedish singer Theresa Andersson will perform at this year's Kräftskiva (Crawfish Party) on Saturday, April 5, 2008, at the Monument Inn, 4406 Battleground Rd, La Porte (next to the San Jacinto Monument). Doors open at 6:00 PM; crawfish at 7:00 PM. The menu will include crawfish with the traditional Swedish seasoning of sea salt and dill (not to be confused with Cajun crawfish!), plus fried fish and fried chicken with potatoes, corn, soft drinks, and beer -- all for the price of $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Bring a friend(s) and join us at 6:00 p.m., or come on out to the park earlier to visit the San Jacinto Monument or the Battleship Texas.

Click here to submit your reservation online (payment must be received by Wednesday April 2, 2008). Seating is limited to 75, so it is very important to reserve your place early!

Valborgsmässoafton in Texas May 3!

In Sweden Valborgsmässoafton is usually celebrated on April 30 and is ranked as one of the most popular festivities after Christmas and Midsummer. It means that the winter is gone and the time has come to welcome the spring back with games, singing and bonfires. Although we here in Texas might have already had spring for some time, Valborgsmässoafton is still a great occasion for us to spend an afternoon enjoying a relaxing atmosphere with family and friends. Dr. Margit Winstrom has graciously once again opened up her ranch just west of Brenham for us, and we thank her for her generous hospitality. This will be another FREE event for the club, but everyone is asked to preregister by Thursday, May 1 so we know how many people to expect.

NOTE: Bring hot dogs, hamburgers or something else to grill for yourself, and one side dish for everyone to share.

We will start around 3 p.m. with Frisbee, volleyball, badminton, croquet and other customary Swedish games. Also on the agenda: a hayride across the large ranch and at sunset the long-awaited bonfire with traditional singing. Remember that this is the highlight of the year for bluebonnets in the Brenham area, so it should be a gorgeous drive to the ranch which is located at 3383 Peters Lane, Brenham, TX. This event has become one of the more popular club celebrations and is a great event for families.
