Welcome to the magical setting of Old World Scandinavia where volunteers bring history to life! Become a tour docent, welcome guests into the Fogelbo home and share the enchanting heritage & collection Ross Fogelquist acquired over the last half century. 
Volunteers are asked to learn the basic histories of the Fogelbo Steiner cabin, the Fogelquist family, and some collection items. There will be a training for first time docents by our lead docents, members of the Fogelbo heritage Committee, prior to their first tour. Depending on the time of year or tour theme, Scandinavian traditions are implemented. 
Docents cover certain areas of the residence, such as the kitchen, main living area, or upstairs items and need to be familiar with several collection items in specific areas they interpret. Historical information and significance are available for docents to study. 
Tours occur quarterly for two consecutive days. Typically Friday & Saturday in Spring, Early Summer, Fall & Winter. Any time you can donate is greatly appreciated.
The tour docents’ goal is to engage, connect, and hopefully, bring the magic to life. The Fogelbo Heritage Committee & tour docents aim to convey enthusiasm for Scandinavian heritage and history.

We are looking for volunteers to help bake cookies & cakes for the event. Can you help?

Little Saturday, or Lillördag (Sweden), Lille lørdag (Denmark and Norway), Pikkulauantai (Finland), is a Nordic tradition of breaking up the work-week with a Wednesday evening mini-weekend!

Nordic countries are well known for their focus on a healthy work-life balance. Little Saturday, especially during the winter, is a chance to break up the week, get together with friends and family, lift your spirits, and relax.

Little Saturday can be as simple as meeting a friend for a drink, taking a walk with your family, or as involved as hosting a party, or toasting over a decadent dessert with champagne. The important thing is to unplug, unwind, and recharge.Brighten your mid-winter and join us for a little Lillordag, where we’ll have delicious homemade Nordic desserts to try, board games to play, indoor versions of Nordic lawn games like Kubb and Molkky, and Nordic crafts to try your hand at. We’ll also have an indoor scavenger hunt, and live instrumental Nordic folk music.

The evening will include a no host bar of Pacific Northwest beer and wine for purchase, as well as kid-friendly elixirs, Nordic lingonberry drinks, soda, and water.

Nordic desserts and light savory snacks provided as part of the ticket price. Outside food is welcome, if you’d like to bring dinner to have before the desserts! Outside alcoholic beverages are not allowed. 

This is a multi-generational activity! An adult guardian is required for children under the age of 18.
