The Laskiainen Finnish Sliding Festival weekend is coming up. Saturday and Sunday bring this longstanding east Range tradition in Palo. The description:

Finnish sliding festival celebrating the ethnic heritage of customs, crafts, music, sports, marketplace, foods and of course sliding! A true family event.

Loon Lake Community Center is located 10 miles south of Aurora on Hwy 100 or 1.4 miles north of Hwy 4.

Let’s not overthink this, people. Finland is a winter nation that distrusts its neighbors. Do you think its American descendants know how to put on a sliding festival? Helsinki Yes!
