According to the 2000 Federal Census, 50 percent of Thief River Falls residents identify themselves as Norwegian-American, making Thief River Falls one of the most Norwegian cities in the US.

So it would seem that our area might be home to some contenders for a reality show that’s now casting for its 6th season on Norwegian television. It’s called “Alt for Norge” – or “The Great Norway Adventure.”

Here to tell us more about it is Joan O’Connor from O’Conner casting in Chicago.
