Herring Market Date Clarification..

Post by PeterF » Wed Oct 01, 2003 9:04 am

I was moaning at breakfast looking out of the window at the prospect of yet another wet gloomy start to October. When Maippi smiled and said ."but be positive..on some point.. for instance It is the Herring Market this weekend..!"
This historic festival has been held in the market square by the harbour for as long as can be remembered.
The boats arrive today from the islands all around the south and south west coast and offer their many different flavoured herring and black bread.
It get a bit crowded but is well worth a visit.
I think I will visit before I seak out the Hank and a bar to wash away the fishy taste.

Maippi insist I was not listening properly or probably...(anyone else notice that Finns often mix these two words..they dont like those two Bs)
Anyway the Herring market does not start until Sunday 5th..so Hank and I do not need to walk to the harbour on Saturday..
