Quiche and ham balls.
Christmas Cookie Exchange
On December 5, 2008, the Ankeny Area Historical
Society hosted a Christmas Cookie Exchange. Members
who helped Norma Righi with the exchange are JoAnn
Adamson, Nancy Breitkreutz, Joyce Lundstrom and
Marilyn Shay.
Everyone enjoyed the homemade goodies and Norma has
planned to hold one again this year.
On November 15 the Loren and Arlene Sampson family
hosted a Norwegian Taste of Christmas and what a meal it
was. The menu for the dinner included cod fish donated
by Ankeny Fareway, lefse, mashed potatoes and butter,
creamed peas, meatballs, pickled beets, cranberry salad,
kringla, rosettas, and fudge. This is the annual
Christmas meal the Sampsons serve their family.
Assisting the Sampsons were their children Ron
(President of the Historical Society), Linda and her
husband Jeff Susic and Wendy Byerly.
