Pathos in Blue Jeans and Midsummer Finnish Fest
A local coffeehouse rumination links the back to nature urge with a Canadian commune tale, noting youth disillusion, the hard work behind simple living, and reliance on a broader system. It highlights Finnish Johannus or Jahannus Aatto Midsummer celebrations at Eddy Park with Kokko Tuli bonfire and the American Finnish Festival Chorus, inviting attendance for a culturally rich evening. The piece segues into Haglund's reminiscences of senior citizens, community progress from electricity to the Memorial Building, and a June 18 dinner featuring a fish fry and a color film program by Tony Rudnicki.
