Lefse Making

Interested in acquiring the art of making Norwegian Lefse? Come join us!!

Every Tuesday, the Fjellheim Viking Lodge will host expert lefse artisans who will guide you through the process. Experience the joy, as Lauren did, as shown to the left. Her first lefse experience showcased everyone’s patience and coaching. 

Our lefse creations support the lodge, and it’s also a great social event. We’re really excited to teach newcomers. After all, the more, the merrier.

Meet us at our Viking Hall. We’re baking for one more Tuesday in May and two more in June. Come join the fun! See the exact location, dates, times, and contact information below.

Yes, you can stop by and buy a package for just $10 while we’re there. Sons of Norway membership isn’t required, but I guarantee you’ll want to join afterward!

Lefse baking will begin again this fall.

Fjellheim Culture Program

Do you know why most Norwegians are so quiet, reserved, and modest by nature? An unwritten social norm dating back to the early 1900s has shaped this behavior. It is called Janteloven, and it speaks for itself without being explicitly stated. On August 12, Kerry Hefta will share her experiences with this social norm during her adolescent and adult years in North Dakota.

On 9 September 2026 at 6:30 pm, Erik Tjelmeland will give a presentation on the “cradle-to-grave” benefits available to all Norwegian citizens. He will conclude with burial considerations, which will lead into a talk by Teresa “Terri” Cain, a Dignity Memorial representative, on 14 October 2026.
