There was a threat of rain, but the sky cleared up so we could complete our event. The main speaker was Toomas Tubalkain. The prayer was recited by Trina and Jaan Pirn.

After the formal ceremony, the festivities continued at Paula and Toomas´s sheep farm. Everyone enjoyed the bonfire, the sheep, and most of all, Estonian conversation.

Everyone is looking forward to June 26, 2016, as we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Cleveland Estonian Cultural Garden.
