The Norwegian Ambassador to the United States, Knut Vollebekk speaks at the luncheon at Hotel International. On the picture you see the Mayor of Minot, Curt Zimbelman to the left, and consultant in business development, Hakon L. Blandehoel to the right. Hakon is a very skilled pianist, and he plays the grand piano when the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo every year. On the platform besides the ambassador is Chester Reiten, head of Norsk Høstfest, and Gary Holum, the speaker at most large arrangements during the Høstfest.
