Celebrate Norway’s Constitution Day At ‘Syttende Mai’

The annual celebration of Syttende Mai – “17 mai” or  Saturday, May 1 – returns to Eau Claire this spring with a full program of festivities.

From 5-8pm on Friday, May 16, the community is invited to celebrate Syttende Mai at the Eau Claire Holiday Inn South (4751 Own Ayres Court). This year’s event includes a silent auction, a Scandinavian meal — and perhaps most prominently — a keynote speaker: former U.S. Ambassador to Norway, Tom Loftus.
