I understand Ballard is not Pierce County, but you might be surprised how many people participate in the Norwegian Constitution Day Parade that live in our locale. Many of the faces from the PLU flag raising are also in these photos. A large contingent of PLU Norwegian students especially. So here is a lovely parade from a very special occasion, the largest of its kind in the Western United States. In honor of its 200th anniversary – the Norwegian Grunnlovsjubileet…

As they said often in the parade: Hip Hip Hurrah!
