Despite no boy being brave enough to submit an application for Libby’s Nordicfest prince, the two co-princesses and other royalty were coronated in style Saturday evening.

The Ponderosa room in Libby’s City Hall was filled with local notables and Sons and Daughters of Norway as seven new royalty members were crowned for the September festival.

Dave and Barb Swenson were crowned King and Queen, Gary and Kathy Wood were named Mr. and Mrs. Kootenai Knute, Marvel Thompson was named the parade marshal and two local girls, Keeli Green and Annie Wilkinson were appointed co-princesses.

Nordicfest, with the theme of “Troll on over to Nordicfest,” is set to kick off Sept. 13 and will continue until Sept. 15.
