The Norskedalen Award

Our Yearly Tribute to Outstanding Norskedalen Supporters

Beginning in 1984, the Norskedalen Award has been presented yearly to honor selected individuals who have shown outstanding commitment or contributions in support of Norskedalen. The awardees are chosen by committee, based on nominations submitted by members.

Each year the winner(s) are honored at the Annual Norskedalen Banquet where their dedication and services are recognized, giving us the opportunity to celebrate their gifts of time, treasure and/or talent, to Norskedalen.
