LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lakeport firefighters recently gave the Bank of America a helping hand.

Lakeport Fire Chief Ken Wells reported that one of the flag poles in front of the Lakeport Bank of America lost the rope on Sept. 29.

He said the rope was recovered by Capt. Bob Holbrook using a ladder truck from Lakeport Fire.

The recovery will help the bank fly their flags, Wells said.

The evening will start at 6 p.m. with a meal of open faced sandwiches for $5.

At 7 p.m. the group will feature “My Heritage Apron.”

Do you have an apron, perhaps your mother's or grandmother's, with Norwegian history? When you look at it or wear it does it bring back a favorite memory or stir up the senses where you can smell something cooking? If so, bring it with you as there will be a contest for the oldest apron, funniest apron and favorite apron.

Stories and demonstrations of cooking those Norwegian delicacies will be shared.

For more information or if you are interested in joining the Sons of Norway please call Vale Hanzel at 707-928-1060.

You don’t have to be 100-percent Norwegian, and any Scandinavian country and Canada will do.
