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.
