June 5th Celebration!
The Daneville Heritage Museum hosted a June 5th Danish Constitution Day celebration. It was our desire to recreate a celebration similar to those hosted in the past by Viborg's DBS.
Our celebration included music, dancing and speeches by local dignitaries.
​
We thank Our Saviors VBS kids (pictured right) for sharing their program of singing and dancing with us.
Pictured left: As part of the program, City of Viborg's Mayor John Edelman presented our special guest, Kristian Bugge of Denmark, with a key to the city. Fiddler Bugge performed with local friends.
Below: The DHA Danish Dancers entertained our guests. We thank our instructor, Laura Stevens.

Mange Tak
