A ride at Mount Horeb Summer Frolic.

Mount Horeb was not settled by trolls. Norwegian settlers began arriving in the early 1870s, and their traditions have rubbed off on this small town with its vibrant main street and carved wooden trolls lurking (36 of them!) to provide local color. This annual fundraiser for area parks has all the requirements of a summer fest: carnival, beer tent, bands and a fun run (8:30 a.m., June 8). The band tent (next to the beer tent) includes The Jimmys at 8:30 p.m. June 7 and The Foo Foo Dolls at 9 p.m. June 8, among others. Find the full schedule below and updates at mthorebsummerfrolic.com.
