Midsummer in Minnesota

Midsummer festival again this year in Scandia, Minnesota. Huge levels of migration from Scandinavia to Minnesota in the late 1800s -- including my grandparents. The maypole and a Swedish Dala Horse at Gammelgarden park and history center. Also land acknowledgement for the rich native American history here - Minnehaha means 'laughing waters' in the Dakota language.
