Nashville's Swedes and friends of Swedes will have a Swedish dinner starting about 7:00pm. You are welcome to join us and sing some traditional Swedish drinking songs!

Starting around 8:00, we will open the doors to the Jugglers, friends-of-jugglers, video/film people, friends-of-video/film people, music business people, international friends, and anyone else who is fun and interesting...

What to bring:

You are welcome to bring any light summer foods, but you are especially encouraged to bring any traditional Swedish or other international foods, such as sill (marinated herring), Swedish meatballs, chicken on the grill, bruna bönor (brown beans), potatoes with dill, strawberries with whipped cream, or any other light summer foods. We will also be drinking the traditional Swedish "Punsch" and singing traditional Swedish drinking songs, so please feel free to bring a bottle of Swedish Absolute Vodka or "hembränt brännvin", or any other akvavit or vodka you might want for special toasts! We will also sample some Mjöd (Old Viking Mead - Honey wine) and probably some strong Swedish kaffe later in the evening!

If there are any traditional Swedish "snaps visor" (Swedish drinking songs) you'd like to sing, please bring along extra lyrics. If you are a juggler, please bring your clubs and torches for the traditional Midsommar Night fire juggling... (And if you have a video camera, you might want to bring it along to catch some of this year's special memories!) And of course, bring your International, Internet, or just plain fun and Interesting friends!!

Please RSVP to halfdan@aol.com and let me know what kind of food and how many people you will be bringing!

Turn left at the light (in front of Hamilton Methodist Church with 3 white crosses), and take Hamilton Church Road exactly 1 mile (past 2 subdivisions on the left) to the first 4-way stop at Mt.

View Road, and after 1/2 mile, take the first left at the top of a small hill onto Belle Oaks Drive into the Belle Oaks subdivision. 3729 Belle Oaks Drive is the 8th house on the left, brown brick with tan siding. (Just look for the Swedish flags!)

View Road about 3 1/2 miles total, crossing Murfreesboro Pike at the red light after the first 2 miles. Continue straight on Mt.
