KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – “Viking Sommerhus” – Norwegian for “Viking summer house” – has been added to the Lake County Quilt Trail.
It has been installed on the summer home of the Dangel family.
The 4-foot by 4-foot block is facing the lake in Soda Bay at 3376 Live Oak Lane, Kelseyville.
The Dangel family has been on this property since 1959 when the senior Dangels – Bob and Thelma – built this summer home for their family.
Their children, Gene and Jackie, spent many summers in this home on Soda Bay boating and skiing.
Memories are still being made by the Dangel children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the “Viking Sommerhus” (pronounced veeking summerhoos).
The Dangel family is well known for their involvement in the Lake County community in many organizations particularly the Lake County Historical Society.
The Dangel grandparents were immigrants from Norway in 1912. Their Norwegian roots take the family back to Viking mariners in the North Sea and fishermen/boaters in San Francisco and Morro Bay.
The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride.
The 4-foot by 4-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team, a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers and carpenters.
The quilt trail is no longer taking applications.
