Later on in the month of September, the 44th annual Norsk Hostfest will be taking place in Minot. However, it's important to note that the event is also a time to honor the Scandinavian heroes who made an impact on both North Dakota and the rest of the world. One of these individuals Sondre Norheim is honored every year at the Hostfest with a wreath-laying ceremony.
