Finding Norway in Red Deer

Last week I went to the annual Norwegian festival in Red Deer, Alberta with my two teenage daughters and my uncle.

Red Deer is where I grew up, yet I only discovered the Norwegian Laft Hus a few years ago. Tucked into the downtown core, it can easily disappear from view if you don’t already know to look for it. I remember frequently going to the pool next door when I was a child and never knowing what was tucked into the bushes behind it.
