Visitors were delighted Saturday upon seeing the several great performances and demonstrations during the Midsummer’s Festival, which was held on Main Street for the first time in 20 years. The event featured performances from the Lindsborg Swedish Folk Dancers, Lindsborg’s Community Jazz Band and the Glomesdal Vikings of Oklahoma. Mayor Becky Anderson welcomed people to the city, spoke about the upcoming growth to come in the form of new projects and events and the importance of community involvement and celebrating Lindsborg’s heritage. Marika Peterson, a Swedish folk dancer, performed the blowing of the birch horn to open the festivities, becoming the first woman to do so at the festival.
