Leikarring Folk Dance Group Eidsvold Lodge's Leikarring was
originally formed in 1947 by members Margarete and Andy Gilstein.
Members wear the National Hardanger costume (bunad).
Traditionally, the group performs
four classifications of Norwegian folkdance: Bygdedans (village dance),
Gammeldans (old dance), Turdans (figure dance, and Sangdans (song
dance).
They have performed at local Lodge
events, for schools and seniors' centers, the opening for the 1994
Commonwealth Games, and as far away as Stavanger, Norway in 2000 for the
Nordleck Scandinavian Dance Festival.
The group meets at Norway House
on Tuesdays at 7 P.M.

The Eidsvold
Walking Club has resumed
outdoor activities.
Ten walkers came out on Saturday,
July 4th for a walk in Oak Bay. This was our first walk since COVID shut us down
in March. We all enjoyed the weather, the views and the friendship. Following
the walk we had a nice picnic in Windsor Park.
They will again meet on the first Saturday of the month. Next walk will be
August 1st.
The Annual
Corn Roast normally held
in August has been cancelled.
Eidsvold
Bursaries - Due to
the financial pressure that the pandemic has placed on our lodge, we are
regretfully suspending this program for 2020.
