Glad Midsommar 2025!

The Friday of Midsommar weekend was spent at IKEA Fishers! Some adult singers joined our SVEA Skolan children's club in demonstrating Midsommar dancing and singing to the guests at IKEA's annual Midsommar smorgasbord meal. IKEA staff and guests alike were delighted!

Per usual, it was a hot and humid Midsommar this year! 95 degrees with approximately 90% humidity. But we didn't let that stop us from celebrating the reason for the season! We welcomed 70 lodge members, friends and family on Sunday, June 22 to embrace the longest day of the year.

We started by listening to Skandilocity's beautiful music while decorating the maypole! The popular flower crown making station also made a re-appearance this year. Kubb was also popular. People stayed cool by flowing in and out of the air conditioned building!

We kicked off the program by welcoming everyone, and also presenting some members of our SVEA Skolan children's club with some attendance awards and celebrated that a few also got admission to the Swedish language camp!

After a delicious Smorgasbord enjoyed in the AC, we reconvened outside to parade the maypole and do some dancing! Our children's club members showed off their dancing skills learned at their meetings this year, and we all participated in the Grand March. We sought a little shade by doing the dancing in the field area, and it was a lovely backdrop for the maypole this year.

Last but not least, we enjoyed some dessert and singing along with Skandilocity!
