According to officials, the lack of volunteers is creating challenges for several May 17 celebrations. In Horten, the event in Lystlunden was canceled after just six people volunteered for the children's games. The specific reasons for the low volunteer turnout have not been confirmed.
Meanwhile, the event in Borreparken is returning with a scaled-down offering after a one-year absence. According to NRK Vestfold og Telemark, Eiri Elvestad, leader of Borre Vel, described the ambitions as quite low this year, but noted there will be a kiosk and games for children. It remains unclear what specific activities are included in the scaled-down program or how many volunteers are typically needed for these events.
We have set the ambitions for the event quite low this year, but there will be a kiosk and games for the children.
