My favorite event was the horse race.The day reminded me of winter races we had on Lake Ahtarinjarvi back in Lehtimaki.Father and I both miss those Sunday afternoons.Father is certain that cars will never replace horses because,in his words,cars are nothing but "noise and confusion."
By Otto Peltonen October 7
