Inspired by Juan Mann and the Free Hugs Campaign (http://www.freehugscampaign.org/), I decided I wanted to make my own Free Hugs video. The movie was shot in the small town of Lindsborg, Kansas, during the once every 2 year Swedish festival of Hyllingsfest.
I'd like to thank again everyone who helped, hugged, stared and smiled, filmed, commented on my video, or held up a sign with me.

  • wow at 3:08 that looks like Elias peterson!? is that him as a freshman?!!?!

  • @63skyman Na, I kind of know that kid, but that is Jon Nelson who was helping me out in the shop and throughout the video.

  • Hello everyone in Lindsborg Kansas.

    My name is Adam and I'm from Sweden. I just recently found out about Lindsborg from a Swedish documentary. I am really fascinated by the Swedish traditions you uphold over there.

    I've been to the USA five times but never in your whereabouts. I would really like to go there some day.

    Do you celebrate midsummer over there? In Sweden midsummer is HUGE. Check out "Midsommar i Leksand" and watch 30 000 people packed around one pole.

  • Yeah, Lindsborg is a nice little town. Population of only about 3000. "Little Sweden USA". We've had the King and Queen of Sweden over here before I think.. And some of our Swedish Dancers have gone to Sweden before to perform.

    Yeah, we have Midsummers over here. It's nowhere near as big as Hyllingsfest, but it still attracts some people. Your English is very good by the way.

    Take it easy man.

see all
