CYNTHIA JOHNSON

SCANDINAVIAN STORY TELLER

Like many older cultures, Norse storytellers carried history, literature and mythology in their heads because tales were not written down. Storytellers were and are always welcome for their ability to entertain during the long winters. Cynthia’s stories will make virtues like honor, courage and initiative come alive as she makes her characters vividly real to all of her listeners.

ROY HAGEN

Genetics and our Politics

To what extent is our political orientation determined by our genetics? Could evolutionary selective pressures account for the differences between conservatives and liberals? Explore the ideas of ‘the human predicament’ and ‘mankind as an orphan abandoned on the doorstep of time’ with an expert on biodiversity and natural resource conservation. To explore these ideas before Roy’s talk, check out Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us by Avi Tuschman. And watch this five minute talk titled “The Smell of Ideology” by Professor Rose McDermott: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9_fRGsEEw&t=24s

DULUTH NEWS TRIBUNE - BEST OF 2018 A&E

"The Honey Bee Folk Festival at Oldenburg House had a sweet vibe. The first-time event in Carlton focused on bee-friendly speakers, craftspeople, poets and musicians. Hosts Emily and Glenn Swanson persevered through a seriously soggy start and graciously shared their historic home and garden. They also initiated pollinator-friendly practices around town. I'm hoping the festival becomes an annual event.
