Dansk Sankt Hans Fest 2015

Saturday, June 20th, 2015 @ 4:00 pm

Place: Steen & Carla’s farm

Great Oak Farm, 227 Highland Street, Berlin, MA

Traditionen tro inviterer DSM igen i år til Sankt Hans Fest hos Steen & Carla.

Programmet byder som sædvanlig på et varieret udvalg af sjove og traditionelle oplevelser for hele familien.  Vi starter kl. 16, hvor der bydes velkommen. Der bliver sat et bord op til Book Swap, så hvis du har nogle Danske bøger eller blade som du er færdig med, er du velkommen til at tage dem med (ingen tekstbøger tak).  Vi holder også et Kræmmer Marked, hvor de der har noget at sælge kan sætte et bord op (medbring et telt hvis du vil have skygge og dække i tilfælde af en regnbyge). Lad os vide på forhånd, så vi har en ide om, hvor meget plads vi skal sætte af til det.

Der vil være et mindre bål til snobrød. Traktoren bliver igen spændt foran høvognen og tilbyder ture rundt på markerne. Der bliver stillet fodboldnet og volleyball net op så husk gummiskoene.  Vi laver også ”Rope Pull” konkurrence for at se, hvem der er stærkest. Senere tænder vi for de store BBQ grills,til den medbragte grill-mad. Danish Society stiller borde og stole til rådighed, så vi alle kan sidde samlet. Efter middagen serveres der friske jordbær med vanilleis, samt kaffe & kringle.

Når mørket falder på, tænder vi Sankt Hans bålet og sender heksen afsted til Bloksbjerg, imens vi synger de gode gamle danske sange og et par af de nye.

Husk at medbringe: Mad til grillning på fællesgrillen samt egne drikkevarer, køletaske (der er ikke køleskab), tallerkener, bestik og grilltang,  tæpper, solcreme, hat, LOMMELYGTE og MYGGESPRAY Bolde og udendørs legeting, samt i værste tilfælde: paraply/regntøj.

Tilmeldelsesblanketten kommer straks!

ENGLISH VERSION:

Danish Sankt Hans Party 2015

Steen and Carla have again this year invited DSM to the traditional Sankt Hans party.

The party will start at 4 pm with a welcome punch. There will be a table set up for a Book Swap, so if you have any Danish books or magazines you would like to swap, please feel free to bring them (no textbooks please). We will also have a flea market for those who have something to sell.

The afternoon entertainment includes tractor hayrides, a fodbold (soccer) match, rope pull and volleyball, so remember the sneakers. The grills will be fired up and there will be a campfire to make “snobrød”. For your convenience we will set up tables and chairs. After dinner we will be serving fresh strawberries and ice cream, coffee & “kringle” for dessert. We will end the evening with a traditional sing-along around the bonfire while wishing the witch  bon voyage to Bloksbjerg.
