COLORADO'S FJELLBORG VIKINGS
In the tradition of educational re-enactors, Fjellborg Vikings presents a Viking tent encampment with demonstrations of various skills including textile arts, blacksmith, and carpenter work. Throughout the event our warriers will be giving demonstrations of live combat using swords, axes, spears, and shields.

When you visit them, you will have a truly hands-on experience by studying museum quality reproductions of Viking chests, tools, carvings, weapons, and armor. Viking age re-enactors will provide insights of the home life, merchant trade routes, and conquests of the greatest expansion of European culture, unequaled until the time of Columbus.

Fjellborg Vikings campsite and warrior competitions provide great family fun and an educational experience of historical Scandinavian culture of the classic Viking age.


NORDIC DAUGHTER
Nordic Daughter is a Rocky Mountain Folk Alternative band based in Idaho Springs, CO. They are more than a musical project, they are advocates for community connection, honesty, education, natural wisdom, and harmony. Their main focus is to tour the world teaching children and adults how to find their voice through music and art. Their fully choreographed performance is sure to capture hearts and minds. The band has performed with Lita Ford, Trapt, Cold, Stitched Up Heart, and Jack Russell's Great White. Get ready for the fiercest of all warriors, NORDIC DAUGHTER!


M & M DANCERS
The M & M Dancers are a group of elementary school age singers and dancers, founded and directed by Marcia Green, who have been a part of the music program at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loveland, Colorado for almost twenty years. They lead audience participation in easy folk dances around the maypole, and are especially popular with families and young children.
