Victoria Mjolsnes who is of Norwegian descent, is the lead singer. A recent graduate of the Cornish College of the Arts, she is an accomplished performer and will add much to the festivities.

Make your checks payable to the LEL Scholarship Fund. After Tuesday, January 19, 2010, tickets will be $30.00 since they have to go out and catch the crab for our order and they’ll have to go again for any latecomers. Bring your own picks and crab crackers! You can also send a self addressed stamped envelope with a check made out to the Leif Erikson Lodge 2-001 Scholarship Fund indicating whether you want crab (whole with goodies or cleaned without goodies) or Cornish Game Hen to:
