Facebook is disallowing me to publish directly onto the DVN page from my Adobe program. Also - I am unable to print a hard copy at this time. Unrelated issues, other than they are both driving me crazy. 😐 If you have access to a printer and know of someone who would like a printed issue, please help spread the news. Thanks - Linda.

2020 TIVOLI FEST CANCELLED

Elk Horn, Iowa--Today the 2020 Tivoli Fest Committee announced it has decided to cancel the annual festival due to the uncertainty posed by the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Tivoli Fest is Elk Horn’s annual Danish heritage festival that traditionally occurs over the Memorial Day weekend. This would have marked the forty-first year of the celebration.

“We certainly hoped that it would not be necessary but unfortunately, it is,” said Chairmen Dustin Petersen.

The all volunteer Committee was well underway with the planning and organizing so it came with great disappointment to make the decision. We are taking this measure in an abundance of caution to maintain health and well-being of our Danish Villages, volunteers and our visitors.
