| Dancers enjoyed Copper Country favorites from polkas, waltzes, schottisches, tangos, and fiddle tunes, from a band with Finnish, French-Canadian, Slovenian, and Irish heritages. And also enjoyed the refreshments of all types. | |
The dance also honored two of the Bands departing members, who graduated MTU this spring, and will be leaving the area. We wish them well in their new endeavors. The Band is renowned for the large number of instruments they can play in their musical repertoire. | |
Many of the crowd simply sat and enjoyed the music and watched as others danced the evening away. While this was a first pre FinnFest activity, it will by no means be the last, as many Committees are now at work making plans and arrangements for the upcoming FinnFest 2013 next summer here in Hancock and Houghton. Be sure to watch for future stories and announcements about FinnFest USA 2013, and check the informational links listed at the beginning of the pictorial. | |
