We've had a busy week in Gjøvik. On Wednesday we toured the Raufoss Industrial Park, home to a cluster of 20 companies that employ 3,000 workers (when times are good; they are suffering like the rest of us during this economic slowdown). Yesterday we visited the Hoff potato processing plant, where among other things, the glorious local potato liquor akvvit is manufactured. Then we toured Fjellhallen, the ice hockey arena inside a mountain (pictured above), first developed for the 1994 Winter Olympics and now used for concerts, sporting events, and a variety of community activities.
