Over the years, Rolf Stang has remained a familiar face around the Norsk Høstfest but few would recognize him as himself.

Rather, he's known to most as Hans Christian Andersen...

After thirteen years performing at Høstfest, though, Stang took on a new role.

Dressed as playwrite Henrik Ibsen, he greeted people of all ages throughout the All Seasons Arena.

He flies in for the event from New York every year, and this Hostfest veteran says he, like many of the visitors he greets, plans to keep coming back for many years down the road...

(Rolf Kristian Stang, "Henrik Ibsen") "Everybody moans and groans that everything is eroding. Well, Norsk Høstfest is not eroding. This place is so well run and this project is so reliable, in a way. And you know they have an enormous repeat business. And anybody in business will tell you that your customer is not a new one, but your old one. Well, this place is full of old customers."
