This year is special; NNW is very excited to announce that Midsummer received the designation of an Oregon<br />
Heritage Tradition Day from the Oregon Heritage Commission! This is thanks to our 2017 Scandinavian of the<br />
Year Dave Alford who, with help from the League of Swedish Societies, our Midsummer partner, made this possible.<br />
The Oregon Heritage Tradition designation recognizes those events more than 50 years old that represent what it<br />
means to be an Oregonian. NNW is incredibly honored to be included in the list of events that go as far back as 1858!<br />
Midsummer is sponsored by the Scan|Design Foundation. •
