DESCRIPTION:The American Scandinavian Association at Augustana will hold its annual Crayfish Party (Kräftskiva)\, featuring a menu of traditional Swedish foods.&nbsp\;\n\nThe menu includes traditional crayfish\, Swedish meatballs\, shrimp\, new potatoes\, corn on the cob\, a fresh fruit bowl\, apple cabbage salad\, cookies\, coffee\, tea and bottled water.&nbsp\;\n\nThere will be door prizes for those in attendance.\n\nAccording to the American Scandinavian Association: "Crayfish have been a delicacy in Sweden since the 16th century. In the early 20th century\, restrictions were introduced to crayfishing in Sweden and&nbsp\;Aug. 7 was the official opening of the season. Thus\, the month of August became the official start of crayfish parties across the country.\n\n"Wearing paper hats\, stringing crayfish decorations\, including the man-in-the-moon paper lanterns\, singing and the audible slurping of the juice out of the crayfish all set the mood for a festive Kräftskiva! Some say that parties in Sweden begin in mid-day and last until dawn\, often ending with a skinny dip in the lake!\n\n"Sweden is the largest consumer of crayfish in the world\; 2\,500 tons are consumed each year."\n
