The town of Finland, Minnesota, will celebrate St. Urho’s Tay with a season opener for hoppers March 15 and a scavenger hunt March 16.
This year’s theme is Hunting and Fishing.
Another Minnesota town, Menagha, plans a pancake breakfast
March 15, the changing of the guards at noon, followed by the parade. At 1 p.m.
folks can join bar stool races and a golf (kols) tournament on the lake, weather permitting. Last year they held a mojakka cookoff (mojakka is a stew — with its own website).
This St. Urho website lists
festivities across the Midwest — among them are Finlayson, Minnesota, Barnes,
Wisconsin, and Thunder Bay, Ontario. The dates span back to 2010. (Hope they
update in time for this year’s festivities.)
What celebrations do you know about?
