The Wausa Viking ship is used multiple times each year. Some of the occasions it is used during are: Labor Day Parade, Homecoming Parade, and Smorgasbord. This tourist attraction is pictured at smorgasbord to the right.
The May Pole dance is a dance performed around a large wooden pole with several long colored ribbons suspended from the top, decorated with flowers, draped in greenery and strapped with large wreaths. This dance is a fun and entertaining way to celebrate and welcome the arrival of our annual feast.
Ever since smorgasbord has started the pre-meal entertainment has been a pianist. Keith Byrkit was the pianist from 1968 to 1982. After 1982 Helyn Wakeley took over. (picture at right from October 31, 1985 Wausa Gazette)
