To Wikipedia, Hyllningsfest is:
a biennial celebration held in Lindsborg, Kansas, in October of odd-numbered years since 1941, to celebrate the town's Swedish heritage. The festival includes arts and crafts, Swedish dancing, Swedish foods including Lutfisk, entertainment by local artists and musicians, a parade and a Swedish smorgasbord. To me however, Hyllningsfest was the town's mayor doubling his car as a float as he drove and waved at the public during the parade. It was a foreign festival of candy throwing kids, and really bad tap dancers. It was a group of old people ridding wooden horses and an overly righteous quartet singing for a town with one stop light. But most of all, it was a great escape from Thornton Colorado. I may not be totally certain what it was that I experienced, but it think it was worth my time.
