Story City has celebrated its Scandinavian Days since 1965, when the tradition began as a Norwegian Constitution Day gathering at Immanuel Lutheran Church before growing into a first weekend of June festival. Nordic foods, folk dancing and rides on the town's 108 year old antique carousel in North Park mark the celebration.
The history within reach
- Iowa State Fair30 mi
Eleven-day agricultural fair dating to 1854; annual attendance exceeds one million..
- The Iowa State Fair30 mi
A million people over eleven days, and the fair that gave the country the butter cow, a life-size sculpture in 600 pounds of butter, made every year since 1911 and kept at 40 degrees behind glass..
The only five-domed capitol in the country, the central one covered in 23-carat gold leaf thin enough that the whole job used a few pounds of gold.
- The Iowa caucuses32 mi
A scheduling accident put Iowa first on the calendar, and a little-known Georgia governor's 1976 finish showed what that was worth.
