Dave Zumeta spotted this upcoming event in Duluth, featuring the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen.
Ever been to a Finnish tori? If not, travel to Finland to experience this traditional Finnish marketplace... or stop by the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center and the Duluth campus July 23-27.
FinnFest 2008, with the theme "Sharing the Spirit of Finland," will offer food and music from the country, as well as insight into such topics as the Finnish-Anishinabe integration. Finnish president Tarja Halonen will grace the festival. She will receive an honorary degree from the U for public service on Friday, July 25, at 10 a.m. Proceeds from the festival support the FinnFest Scholarship at UMD.
