Hawk Creek Lutheran Church Lefse Ministry Bazaar
I'll be signing books—and maybe singing my lefse song—at the fundraising bazaar put on by Hawk Creek Lutheran Church, the church that inspired this Jill Kittock illustration about a church with a lefse foundation. 
Talking Lefse at Ingebretsen’s
I am speaking about why I have a thing for lefse, which has led me to write Keep On Rolling! and The Last Word on Lefse. And then signing books at this historic Scandinavian landmark in Minneapolis. You gotta see the shop and old-time meat market to believe it. You'll be slow to leave! Saturday, October 21. Time TBD. Ingebretsen's 1601 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN 55407.
