A look at the 1954 Hyllningsfest. It took some doing to come up with this film but I finally located it at the Old Mill Museum, along with 3 other films from 1953, 1952, and the first Hyllnings Fest (as the called it then). All 4 films are in color, but there is no sound. At the end of this film notice the shots of Bethany and Messiah Churches and of campus, including Old Main! Dr. Holwerda was the founder of Hyllningsfest attended the births of hundreds of Lindsborg babies for over 30 years. The Svensk Hyllningsfest committee paid for the preservation of these films and their transfer to the digital medium.
