We're nearing the end of the second full day of the 2007 Norsk Hostfest.

That means we're halfway through the 30th edition of the festival - and officials say attenDance has been great so far.

Taking in the festivities of the Norsk Hostfest is extremely popular just look at the number of people walking the halls here!

Getting here, however, may not be a favorite pastime.

Dealing with traffic and finding a hotel for out of town visitors can be a hassle.

That's where the tour bus comes in.

Here's Perry Olson...

(Perry Olson - KX News) "When you come to the Hostfest it is hard to miss the lineup of buses. Getting them in here lined up like this? Not an easy task!"


(Shaun Storseth - Parking Buses) "Well, it is hard work and you just have to tell them what to do and hope for the best." (Patsy Lieberg - Hostfest Volunteer) "The thing that amazes me is how close they pack these things together. They don't hit fenders! They do a wonderful job."


(Perry Olson - KX News) And once that job is done Patsy and her crew continue the process of making a trip to H?st easy and enjoyable.

(Patsy Lieberg) "We put the armband on so they can get in and take the tickets so they just go to the door and they are in like that." (Dick Nordstrom - Alexandria, MN) "When you get to be my age it is a long way. Hotels are hard to find and they take care of all of that for you!" (Percy Polenski - Bus Driver) "They don't worry about parking and being driven back and forth we do shuttles for them everyday."


(Perry Olson - KX News) Sure the hassles of a trip are taken care of...but you also get to ride in style...

(Ken Vanderwerff - Bus Driver) "You can put this thing where you need to? You bet! Get in some tight spots! Without taking anything out, right? You bet!"
