We have had some good news from our friend Rakel Dyrhaug in Otta, Sel
Kommune, Gudbrandsdalen:
"This year's PGD will be from the 25-27 of August. The main day will be the
26 of August -the same day as the day of battle of Kringen in 1612. This
year's Pillarguri will be Anne Cath. Vestly. She is the most known writer in
Norway when it comes to literature for children. She is a legend and she
turned 80 years some months ago. Everybody knows her books, and she will
definitively be a good Pillarguri.
As I wrote you last time, Otta has become a city. The formal celebrations
will take place Saturday the 26 August! This years PGDs will be unique and
probably bigger than last years event. They are working on the program these
days."
Rakel has also been given a new position as the manager of the Sel and
Rondane Tourist Association with full support of our friends at the Norlandia
Otta Hotel
We have contact details for Otta under the Norway page on our website.
Yours aye
Iain
