The Finland Booth At the Festival Looked Great
This year the Finnish booth at the Mid-summer fair was outstanding.
It was cute to see paper hats being made for a donation. I saw several of them walking around proudly displaying the Finnish flag.
Did you manage to put a push pin to show the part of Finland you hail from? It was neat to see how many people came from various parts of Finland to Canada.
The sauna was one of the highlights - I thought it was wonderful that people could experience a tent sauna! I'm keen on renting it for one of my outdoor adventures.
And it was lovely to see the Finnish traditional dress being worn and exhibited.
