"A Norwegian Christmas" Benzonia Academy Lecture Series Prog

December Benzonia Academy Lecture to Focus on Norwegian Yuletide Traditions

“A Norwegian Christmas” is the topic for the upcoming Benzonia Academy Lecture program.  Sharon Ericksen McKinley will share how her family and many others celebrated past and present Norwegian heritage with yuletide traditions.  The lecture, offered at The Mills Community House, will be presented on Thursday, December 8, 4:00 p.m.  

McKinley is a native of Frankfort, where she has lived all of her life.  She was an educator for 28 years, and a local realtor for more than 30 years.  McKinley’s father emigrated from Norway at age 18 in 1926.  He was the last Ann Arbor Car Ferry captain actually born in Norway.  Her mother’s father and mother were both of Norwegian background.

This presentation is part of Benzie Area Historical Society’s Benzonia Academy Lecture Series, held on the second Thursday of each month at The Mills Community House, 891 Michigan Avenue, Benzonia (Benzonia Public Library).
