Syttende Mai coordinator Margit Gerber leads the executive committee meeting early this month. Gerber will step down as coordinator after nine years of leading the annual festival.

As the marching bands and Norwegian Dancers make their way down Main Street this Sunday, there will be plenty of people cheering and waving.

There will also be one person breathing a final sigh of relief.

“It seems like once the Sunday parade is about halfway through, I just sort of go, ‘Alright,’” said Margit Gerber, who has served as Syttende Mai’s coordinator for the past nine years.
