Dedicated evening by the campfire
During the week after our Annual Charcoal Weekend, we will gather on an evening to be announced between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to discuss the topic: Traditional Charcoal Making in our Region. A lot of information from those days has been lost to posterity, and we hope that you may have information and anecdotes for us to document and preserve for future generations. The discussion will be held in Finnish and Swedish.
Coffee and pastries = voluntary contribution that goes in full to carry out the Charcoal Weekend.
Please register in advance.
