The Danish Villages of Elk Horn and Kimballton are celebrating the 33rd Annual Tivoli Fest this weekend. Lisa Steen-Riggs, spokesperson for the event which runs Saturday and Sunday, said the weekend is packed with activities, including some traditional favorites. The event kicks-off with a 5-l “Mill to Mermaid” fun run/walk. Registration is just $5, with the top winners in each age group receiving a special t-shirt. At the finish, everyone receives a bag of M&M’s. The parade, themed “Honoring our heroes, begins at 11-a.m.
There’s also an open-air market. Some new events are in-store for this weekend, as well. A ribbon cutting will be held for the new Veteran’s Memorial at 2-p.m., along with patriotic music, a “Walk-of-Honor,” and information about a national program, “Run for the Fallen.” Of course, it wouldn’t be Tivoli Fest, without food and entertainment. That includes Scandinavian entertainment all day long. Food, including traditional Danish delicacies will served at the new fire station from 8am-until 3-pm both days, or until supplies last.
The fire station will also serve as the location for a beer garden and dance. For a full list of activities, go to www.danishvillages.com.
Jim Field speaks with Navy Veteran and Atlantic resident Ron Swope about his experiences in the service as part of our Freedom Fridays series.
