I LOVE A PARADE!

When you come to Norseland to see the parade, bring some lawn chairs. Also plan on bringing the lawn chairs to the park for the evening events. Provided seating will be limited.

Speaking of the parade, we have more than 70 units signed up for the parade. Some of the more unique units will include: a buggy that was originally purchased at the Norseland Store when John Burke (original owner of the store) was the proprietor. This buggy was purchased as a wedding gift and descendents of the bride and groom, the Charles Johnson family have restored the buggy and it will be carrying our grand marshalls, Linda Swenson and Dottie Anthony.

You will also see a float with many present and former pastors and their wives in the parade. Have you ever seen a pea combine in a parade? Come to Norseland and find out what they look like close up.

Families came to the area in a covered wagon. You will see one in the parade. It will be pulled by horses, rather than oxen, but it will also be having a milk cow tagging along behind.

Like old tractors? You will see them in our parade. But Arnold's Implement in Mankato will also be displaying one of the latest models also. Hope to see you there. end
