WOODVILLE, WI – Are your holiday meals incomplete without lefse? Do you want to start a new tradition? Never tried lefse? If your answer is “yes” to any of those questions, place an order for your holiday lefse with the Woodville Historical Society.
For the uninformed, lefse is the Norwegian flatbread made from riced potatoes, butter, cream, salt and flour. It is usually eaten well-buttered and rolled up or perhaps with added cinnamon sugar, it disappears quickly during a meal with requests for seconds, which is not unusual.
The Woodville Historical Society is taking orders (as a fundraiser) for packages of lefse until Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Each package contains six tasty pieces of lefse and cost only $7.00 each. Place your order with Janet (715-698-2507) or Gloria (715-698-3014) by Wednesday November 13, 2024.
Orders can be picked up at the Woodville Historical Society building (130 S. Main St., Woodville. WI 54028) on Friday, November 22 from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. If you forget to order, stop in . . . Sometimes there are extra packages available for purchase.
The Woodville Historical Society exists to gather and to share the history of Woodville. The building’s exhibits are open the second Saturday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or by appointment. Each year the Society sponsors a Woodville History Walk for Viking Middle School’s 6th graders and a speaker on various topics during Syttende Mai. This dedicated group welcomes your participation and invites you to become a member.
Of course, having a building to house fascinating and important historical displays in, requires money. Utility bills need to be paid, repairs made, and display items catalogued and maintained. Donations are welcome to support the mission of the Society and can be sent to: Woodville Historical Society, 130 Main St., Woodville, WI 54028.
The Historical Society also has a wish list. Topping the list are donations of articles relating to Woodville’s History and volunteers to help with caring for and cataloging materials and then there are the everyday things to keep items and the building clean (paper towels, Windex, Q-tips, cleaning brushes of all sizes, etc.).
