CRAYFISH PARTY
IKEA SOUTH August 20
SACC-Philadelphia and IKEA South Philadelphia
co-hosted the annual Crayfish Party, which approximately made 140 guests sing the Swedish “snaps”
songs as well as enjoy the wonderful crayfishes.
Mr. Apell, the chairman of SACC, introduced himself
and SACC and began the raffle drawing after a while,
which our sponsors: SAS, Scandinavian Touch, Nordic
Nutrition, Pastoral Korean Restaurant, Old Coffee,
Philadelphia brewery, Orrefors Kosta Boda and Sagaform had donated raffle gifts for. SACC-Philadelphia
would also like to thank IKEA, Flying Fish brewery
and Finlandia Vodka for providing excellent food and
beverages. The Casey Alvarez band played at the
party and made the ambience even better.
The Crayfish Party has been a recurring event over
the past few years and even though the venues have
changed it has still managed to pick up momentum
and this years attendance was the biggest so far.
ANNUAL SCAN FEST
VASA LAKE September 5
Scan Fest is a fair held to celebrate and commemorate the Scandinavian heritage that the area has to offer and has been a standing point on the agenda for
SACC for a number of years. The Fest is held in the
somewhat remote part of New Jersey but still draws
a big crowd of both actual decendants and wannabe
Vikings and welcomes any and all who fits neither category but just want to have a good time and browse
the many different vendors and food stands as well
as take in the culturally diverse gallery of artist that
come together to lift spirits and give a taste of home
during the course of the day. SACC contributes to this
Scandinavian celebration by bringing authentic Swedish glass ware from Kosta Boda to very affordable
prices and by answering any and all Swede-related
questions as well as inform the many patrons of what
the Chamber can do for them. Scan Fest is a fun and
interesting day that helps tie the Scandinavian community together as well as being highly entertaining.
