DSC is co-sponsoring this important Scandinavian festival that celebrates Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish culture (costumes, food, dance, crafts, bake table). DSC will be staffing both a Danish food table (serving aebleskiver and Cocio chocolate milk) and a club info table (1-hour volunteer shifts). Contact Annalisa if you want to volunteer to meet new people and tell them about the wonders of our club. As this is a DSC event, please consider attending even if you're not planning to volunteer. Our brothers/sisters-in-arms from both Dania and Danish Sisterhood will be there, along with our canines-in-arms from the Great Dane Club. Highlights of the event include the Sacramento Area Nordic Dancers, the lovely flag ceremony with anthems, costume contest, Nordic foods and gigantic dogs.

On Saturday, April 6th ONLY, DSC will be serving ELEVEN (yes, really!) very special Danish artisanal meads, five of which are not even available in the U.S.! DSC will also be hoisting the Viking Red Raven Banner for the very first time.

Attendees will be able to purchase Viking mead in flights of four 1oz tastings for the cost of just one $4 drink ticket (+ a bit extra for silver-medal Sea Wolf).
