Over a chilly weekend in February, the people of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, don their red pointy hats as they celebrate the town's Scandinavian heritage. In Norway and Denmark, red pointy hats are worn by the nisse. In Sweden they’re worn by the tomte. In Mt. Horeb, they’re worn by anyone who wants to join the fun of the Scandihoovian Winter Festival weekend. Festival organizers like the playfulness of the hats and the bond they have come to represent. We’re here to celebrate our community and our heritage.
