As Byron departs from our midst, his spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Byron. Though Byron may no longer walk beside us, his legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.
Byron was a charter member of Fjellheim Lodge and spend many hours at the lodge with his family which included his wife Arlene (Erickson), Virginia (Erickson) Nelson, Doris (Erickson) Lake, Roger and Marge Erickson, Barbara Nelson, and Cindy Ritz and their families.

Viking Fair will be here in a few short months. Ven-dors are busy planning what items they will be bring-ing for their tables. Members are watching for un-used items which might be donated to our raffle, her-itage and white elephant tables. Some popular things which we have seen in the past include scarves, wall hangings, sweaters, quilts, housewares, jewelry, knickknacks, you name it, etc.
Volunteers are needed in the kitchen to help plan, cook and serve brunch, lunch items and snacks. Bak-ers are also needed to make cookies, bread, rolls, cakes, whatever you like. We always run out of these popular hand-made goodies, so if anyone finds some good recipes to share, please bring them along to our heritage meetings. We really appreciate all the peo-ple who pitch in to bring things, tend our special ta-bles for the day, set up and clean up for the event. We will have some sign-up sheets to help us get orga-nized. It does take a village.
Viking Fair is a day for reaching out to the communi-ty, so please spread the word when you can. Plan to come visit, learn things and have some fun on Octo-ber 19.

Viking Fair Chairman
