Libby Nordicfest 2015
September 16, 2015
The 31st edition of Libby's Nordicfest was held September
11-13, with many of the usual festivities that have come
to be associated with Nordicfest.
Reigning this year were King and Queen Duane and Peggy
Williams, Princess Lily Feeback and Prince Jonny Cielak.
Friday's events featured the Bunad parade and youth
Runnerfell. Saturday's main attraction was the parade,
and all three days featured the Kootenai Valley Quilt
Guild's quilt show, a juried craft show, food vendors,
and entertainment. A Hardanger display was shown Friday
and Saturday, and the Kootenai Karacters presented their
melodrama Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
Missing this year, and last, was the Fjord horse show.
Formed in 1986, the Pacific Northwest Fjord Promotional
Group held its first show in Libby in 1987, and continued
through 2013.
The Nordicfest board is always looking for new members to
help continue the tradition, and invites anyone who's
interested to volunteer with this long-standing event.
