Waldemar Ager Association Annual Meeting!
“Supper and a Program,” sponsored by the Waldemar Ager Association Annual Meeting.
Unlike entrepreneurs such as Drummond and Rust, Waldemar Ager has no street named after him in Eau Claire. However, Ager has a museum dedicated to his legacy and that of other immigrant cultures (at 514 W. Madison Street).
In the first half of the 20th century, he was well-known to the citizens of Eau Claire. He
was a journalist and publisher of the Norwegian-language newspaper “Reform.” He was
also a businessman, a national and international lecturer, and a novelist—rival to his
friend Ole Rolvaag whose claim to fame was “Giants in the Earth.”
Program:
5:30 for Ager members. Then the public is welcome to come for a Scandinavian supper at 6 and a program about Ager’s achievements at 6:30 PM.
Supper and program are in the Riverview Room, L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library.
This event is Free and all are welcome!
