Grant money ran out this fall but volunteers in Petersburg continue to renovate the Sons of Norway Hall that was built in 1912. KFSK’s Angela Denning stopped into the hall this week and has this report:

The upstairs of the Sons of Norway looks different these days. A table saw is set up near the top of stairs, ladders lean against walls and paint cans cover a nearby table…it’s pretty obvious it’s a construction zone.

Although construction is in full swing right now it will cease this weekend for the annual Christmas Bazaar. Thirty-nine vendors will be selling crafts, food and other items at the Sons of Norway hall both downstairs and upstairs.
The lodge is also using the event as a fundraiser and will be selling eight different kinds of soup out of the kitchen.
The event runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
