Over the winter of 2006 Elaine Nordlie read through the 100 year history of
Telelaget as reflected in our journal Telesoga. She listed the annual
stevne locations as she went. We are grateful to her for her work (which required
a great deal of translation from Norwegian to English). She would remind us
that the following is a "work in progress" and subject to change over
time. Thank you Elaine on the Plain. Elaine also gleaned some information from
the work of Odd Lovoll in: "A Folk Epic: The Bygdelag in America."
