About Säg Hej Day:

Originally started in the Swedish city of Lulea, Säg Hej Day, at its heart, is about building connections – whether it's greeting a neighbor, exploring new wellness practices or learning from the expertise of others. The name, which means "Say Hello" in Swedish, reflects the spirit of openness and community that makes Andersonville unique. For additional information, visit the Säg Hej Day page.
