Syttende Mai, Norway’s Constitution Day, was celebrated May 21 in Redwood City by Vigeland Lodge #6-155, a local Sons of Norway group. Traditional food, music and clothing are highlights of the celebration, for which Irene Soma (l.), Gerd Syrstad (c.) and Judith Beyer (r.) wore their bunads, the traditional festive folk costume of Norway. Bunads require hundreds of hours of detailed handwork for the embroidery on the skirts, aprons, bodices, and shirts. Vigeland Lodge #6-155 meets the first and third Fridays of the month at the Highland Community Club in Redwood City. Those interested in Norwegian culture are welcome and are invited to learn more at www.Vigeland.us.
