Polk County: Swedes of Stromsburg

The Polk County town of Stromsburg may seem like a normal rural town most of the year, but on the third weekend in June it transforms into a Swedish village straight out of the old country. Join me, Matt Johnson, as I speak with Sharon Noyd and Barb Lamoree about Stromsburg’s Swedish Midsommar Festival and its effect on the community that makes it happen.

Produced by KRNU Studios

Thank you to Sharon Noyd and Barb Lamoree
