Many people at the Norsk Høstfest were impressed that so many Norwegians came to visit Norsk Høstfest this year, and they wondered if that could be a basis for a more formal collaboration. The Hjalmar Johansen Lodge in Skien had to close several years ago, there were difficulties to get new and younger members. As we know, ten thousands of Americans and Canadians have their anchestors in Upper Telemark. Maybe a new Sons of Norway Lodge could be established in Ulefoss, Bø or Seljord ?
