Tune in to watch "Acadian Festival" on Maine PBS this Saturday. It is
fun and festive and if you are a Mainer of French Acadian descent or
have friends who are, it will amaze you to see how the French Acadians
of the St John Valley have preserved and celebrate their culture. Enjoy
the dance, food and song of this unique cultural community.

Becky McDougall I missed the PBS screen showing of the coming of the Swedes? Any chance of another showing????
Maine's Swedish Colony, Inc. Maine PBS is once again screening "The Coming Of The Swedes," a film made by Brenda Nasberg Jepson and her students at Caribou Tech Center. It goes out on Saturday, the 26th of September at 11am. It tells the story of how Maine's Swedish Colony, where we live, was settled and how it has evolved to this day. Hope frien...ds in Maine have the chance to tune in!

Maine's Swedish Colony, Inc. Read about this year’s Midsommar festivities in a small village in Sweden here. The “Swede Life” is written by an “American Mom and Midwife from Florida Living in Sweden.” Lots of great photos and even video of raising the pole!

and I were newbies to Midsommar in Sweden this year, and you'd think we were trying to make up for lost time. We went to no less than three midsommar pole raisings, and saw the local fiddle troupe four times. ...

"On this Wednesday, and maybe Thursday and Friday, too (July 8, 9, 10) we'll be doing some cleaning at the Clase House in New Sweden. If you don't mind getting dirty, stop by - we'll be starting at 8.00am. Things need to be done both outside and inside. For outside jobs (bring your own tools), there's pruning, trimm...ing, hauling brush, picking up debris, etc. For indoor jobs, there's a lot of stuff (shredded paper, soggy ceiling tiles, wall coverings, etc. on the first floor; raccoon poop and paper on the second floor) that needs to be shoveled into trash bags and put into the trash truck (Scott Landeen will be renting us his truck and we need to fill it! The truck will be there by 11.00am on Wednesday). Please bring a shovel (I'll supply some heavy trash bags) or other tools you might find useful. If you're going to be working inside on the first floor you'll need a dust mask (I'll bring a few) and clothing that you don't mind getting filthy. If you're going to work upstairs you'll want a respirator and protective clothing (need to supply your own)."

A copy of the following poem was given to Anders Tidstrom of Sweden by Katarina Hanson (1881-1972) in 1970 when he visited New Sweden, Maine. In early 2009 the poem was emailed in Swedish back to Maine and translated by Paul Carlson.
