Rick’s Coffee Bar was named to honor the memory of Rick Gustafson, a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force. Rick served his country with everything he had and ultimately took his own life due to the emotional and mental wounds incurred in service. The loss of hope is something that can be experienced by both veterans and non-veterans alike, which is why we believe community is so important.
An annual event with fun for the whole family. Lutefisk eating contest, super raffle, craft show, Scandinavian Arts Fair, and more!
