The Lister region is famous for their Norwegian-American culture. Every year they host an American Festival to celebrate cultural memories from the emigration era around the 1950s. What was so special was that so many people came back home again after being 'over there' chasing their dreams. And many people brought back memories, lingo and typical American artifacts - that still is a part of life in this area today. People hold a little piece of America in their hearts!
