I just wanted to drop a note to say thanks to the Norseland 150 committee. What a fantastic event this past weekend, and I can't imagine the work that went into pulling this off.

I will remember this experience forever. Thank you for everything you did to make this such a special and historic occasion!

Kind regards,
