It is morning after another brilliant evening of celebrations and music, this time together with the other sleighteams and the market committee. We are getting ready for a day at the market, taking turns working in the backyard that our sleighteam is responsible for. After lunch it’s time for a small excursion over to Tröndelags sleighteam. Last night at the party they gave us a barrel of salted haring as an anniversary gift and now it's time to pick it up. After some friendly negotiations we also manage to buy an extra barrel to bring back with us. Röros winter fairs first lady, Lillian Sandnes got the honor of tasting the product after some initial skepticism, -she approved and even liked it.
In the evening the winter fair Mass (this year with a wedding) has gathered over 700 people. Blessings of friendship are read in the recently restored church before it is filled with folkmusic and the married couple can dance their way down the aisle. Music and dancing continues throughout the night before it’s time to find our way home.
