Scandinavian Cultural Center & Library

Celebrate the arrival of summer by making a pajaki with us!
Pajakis are a Polish and Swedish traditional craft made during the Midsummer season. They can be small mobiles hung in your home, massive chandeliers displayed in museums, or anything in between! Pajakis can be decorated with flowers, grass, garlands, pom poms, and other colorful and festive items. How you make your pajaki is up to you, but it is sure to be a charming summer decoration.
All materials will be provided. Make sure to reserve your spot early, as space is limited!
Saturday, May 30th | 10am-12pm | $50 per person, $40 for members | <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/midsummer-pajaki-making-registration-1989389741269?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tickets</a>

We are thrilled to host a screening of Kings of Kubb, featuring a personalized recorded introduction from directors Steve Dayton and B.J. Hollars. If you’re already a kubb pro, we know you’ll want to see this exciting documentary and join us for some games of kubb (also called “viking chess” on the lawn afterwards. If you’re confused and wondering what kubb is, come find out! The Swedish lawn game has taken hold over the small city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin–with a population of just 70,000, it hosts the largest weekly kubb league in the world, with 144 teams competing. Filmmakers Dayton and Hollars illuminate the formation of the U.S. National Kubb Championship and what the sport means to its players, four in particular who are vying for the championship.

“It’s not quite bowling. It’s not quite bags. And it’s far more than “throwing sticks at blocks.” When the Nordic lawn game arrived in the United States, American players quickly discovered that—even with skill, strategy, and mental toughness—kubb can break your heart… or heal it."
