The stevne (gathering) will include genealogy labs and research assistance with all the resources of the bygdelags (organizations): books, films, maps, family histories. There will be multiple seminars on genealogical, cultural and historical Norwegian-American topics. The program includes a tour to settlement areas of Norwegian emigrants in Richland County, North Dakota, a visit to the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead, Norwegian food and music. There will also be a "pitchfork fondue", Norwegian craft demonstrations and vendors. Those planning a visit to Norway in the future might want to take advantage of the opportunity to learn a little of the Norwegian language in a Saturday seminar. And, of course, there will be the opportunity to visit with others who share an interest in Norwegian heritage. The stevne is open to the public although advance registration is requested. Tours and meals must be reserved in advance. Additional information, including hotel information, the program schedule and registration forms are found on the Trønderlag web site: http://www.tronderlag.org/stevne2005.htm

Lake, and opened a lumber yard, handling a full line of building material, with a feed and planing mill and grain elevator in connection, at Copas, Minn., where they have an annual output of about 100,000 bushels of produce. They also deal in flour and feed. December 30, 1906, Mr. Hawkinson married Amanda C. Swenson, born in Washington county, Minnesota, January 14, 1882, a daughter of Solomon and Anna C. (Peterson) Swenson, both natives of Sweden, the father being born March 15, 1845, and the mother March 31, 1861.

He is one of the leading business men of the county.
