Finland Calling |
|
story by Linda Graham |
|
|
| On Sunday, March 30, 2008, Carl Pellonpaa hosted a dance
at the Elks Lodge in Ishpming to celebrate 46 years of
the"Finland Calling" television program. A huge crowd
enjoyed the special afternoon. Music was provided by Wil
Kilpela and Friends. There were numerous door prizes, a
50/50 drawing, and a grand prize of a DVD player which was
won by a visitor from Finland. Some of Carl's family members
helped out during the afternoon; granddaughter Kristen
Pellonpaa, son Carl, Jr., and wife Doris. Hamburgers, french
fries, juusto, coffee, and many desserts were available
throughout the afternoon. The usual chicken dance and the
grand march were also part of the afternoon activities. Finland Calling airs on WLUC TV6 every Sunday morning at ll:00AM Eastern, 10:00AM Central time. People from all over the world get to enjoy Finland Calling via the internet; or if you are travelling in your vehicle, tune in to 87.7FM to hear the program on your radio. |
