Doesn't actually look very Swedish.

Actually all the decor around town is Swedish themed. There is a rosemaling competition, Swedish folk dancing and there is an Old Timers lunch with Swedish food. It's based on the town's historic roots. I live about 5 minutes away from Third Street so we usually god once or twice for food.

Swedish Days are coming up, starting on Tuesday June 17. There are activities all around town but mostly on Third Street and on Hamilton Street (1 block north of Rte. 38) Sunday the Viking Lodge is having a Swedish breakfast at the Legion Hall on Second Street. Breakfast is Swedish pancakes, fried herring, bacon, eggs and potatoes. Events begin at 10 am and run until 10 pm most days

Pretty good food. However, the staff could not keep up with the demand for the pancakes. The herring was on the salty side but very good.
