In March of 1986, the Rutland Community Club (RCC) designated the second Saturday in October of each year for Uffda Day, committing to the event for years to come. The RCC now could plan further in advance instead of pulling the event together in two months as they did in 1985. The second annual Uffda Day was held October 18, 1986. Kickoff was, again, at 1 p.m. and for only four short hours crafters demonstrated their art and rides were a big hit. This year more food options were added including abelskievers for the first time. Rosettes were available at the Insurance building and rommegrot at the Post Office. Antique quilts were on display at the Baptist Church and antique machinery could be seen around town. A Scandinavian smorgasbord started at 5:30p.m. with advance tickets for the supper and dance for only $5.50. Those who missed out on advance tickets had to purchase tickets at the door $3.50 for the supper and $3.00 for the dance. The meal included Swedish meatballs, boiled potatoes, peas and carrots, sweet soup, a relish tray, rommegrot, lefse and “assorted Norwegian cookies”. A 25-member band and dance group from Norway, The Fjellklang Spelemannslag, was the evening entertainment with a concert followed by a dance.
