A Finnish Independence Day Celebration

The Knox Creek Heritage Center in Brantwood, WI, dedicated to preserving the heritage of the pioneers that settled these great Northwood’s will be hosting “A Finnish Independence Day Celebration” on Saturday, December 7, 2019 at the Brantwood Community Center located on Highway 8 at Stadium Road (County D North).  Our celebration will begin with dinner being served from 2:00pm - 4:00pm, with the main dish being Mojakka (a Finnish Beef Stew) cooked in a cast iron kettle over a wood fire with homemade Finnish whole grain bread.  Creamy rice and an assortment of fruit sauces will be available for dessert.  A pseudo “Let’s Make A Deal” will occur during the celebration with some great prizes and a few “zonks” for fun and entertainment.  This is one of our four annual fund-raisers and our 24^th year of existence.  We are seeking individuals and families to become part of KCHC.  By becoming a member you can help maintain our unique historical site and help share in our unique local heritage.  We also have several major projects planned and asking for additional funds, through donations, to make these dreams come true.  Any donation will be greatly appreciated.  We have recently put the new roof on the Spirit Baptist Church and poured the concrete for our planned pavilion.  Some of the buildings (we have nine) are older than 100 years…and need some TLC.  We hope to see you all there for a great “Finnish Independence Day Celebration.”
