$Bunads: Threads of Norwegian Heritage \u2014 with Soups and Sides Potluck$

For our January social meeting, we will begin by sharing soup and side dishes while viewing a short photo presentation from the 2025 Bunad Textile Tour. Our newly installed lodge officers will provide several crock pots of soup, and attendees are invited to bring a side dish to share.
We will then welcome our guest presenter, Trine Hovind of Lillehammer, Norway. Trine is a professional bunad embroiderer and tailor who will speak about bunads, including their history, construction, and the careful selection of fabrics and silver. She will also be happy to answer questions, help determine which bunad is appropriate based on a family’s region of origin in Norway, and explain proper silver and accessories. Trine will bring several beautiful bunads to show, some of which may be tried on and are available for purchase. She will also have shirts, petticoats, scarves, and jewelry available, and can accept orders for custom-made bunads with shipping to the U.S.
We will meet in the Fireside Room in the lower level of the church. This is most easily accessed through the southwest entrance by the parking lot.
