The 103rd Annual Lutefisk Supper and Norwegian Bake and Craft Sale will be held on Saturday, Oct. 16, from 12:30-6:30 p.m.
Hosted by Northland Lutheran Church, this supper celebrates the rich Norwegian heritage of the many families who helped settle the rural rolling lands of the Iola area. Norwegian church members will once again bring their culinary expertise to prepare a buffet style supper to include lutefisk, torsk (boiled cod), meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, lefse, buttered carrots, cole slaw, and cranberries. Dessert includes such traditional Norwegian pastries as rosettes, sandbakkels, krumkakes, and fattigmann cookies.
All of the food is prepared by church members and supporters with the lutefisk and torsk prepared the day of the event on location. Co-sponsored by Gagas Farms, attendees can expect farm-fresh potatoes.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $4 for children ages 6-12, and free for those 5 and under. The church is located at N9880 State Highway 49, about nine miles north of Iola.
