We plan to attend the St Urho’s Day parade. I will have parade photos tomorrow God willing and the crick don’t rise.
What you don’t know about St Urho? He chased all the pesky grasshoppers that were eating all the grapes in Finland. Purple and green are the colors of the day…representing the grapes.
Now for the Snow Stick contest! Please leave me a comment with the date you think the snow and ice will be completely gone from the snowstick. The winner or winners will get something special from me. Those of you too shy can email me with your guess. I will take guesses until Monday night at 9 PM.

I'll say April 31, and Happy St. Urho's Day to you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat day will never come:)
DeleteLol!
DeleteApril 18 popped into my head - maybe that is just a silly wish.
ReplyDeleteApril 15th Tax day
ReplyDeleteApril 25th is my guess.
ReplyDeleteI will guess April 19th. :-) Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteI will say April 26th, but almost said April 17th!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Urho's Day to you both! I will guess April 21st.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saint Urho's Day! Enjoy the parade.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is April 20th.
ReplyDeleteApril 7th came to mind--which sounds absolutely ridiculous looking out at the humongous snow banks here. But since the weather is so unpredictable, our springs seem so short once they arrive lately, and the summers heat up quickly--I guess I'll leave it at that. :)
ReplyDeleteApril 23rd
ReplyDeleteI will guess April 17. And thanks for the interesting info on St Urho's Day. I had never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy St. Urho's Day. Wild stab at the no snow date...April 9. Our snow is different from yours. The snow comes, the snow completely disappears, the snow comes, the snow completely disappears. Today we have sunshine and temperatures in the 40s. But what will next week bring? Could be more snow.
ReplyDeleteI will say April 5th
ReplyDeleteHappy St Urho's day!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone has guessed April 24 so that will be my guess.
June's a pretty big snowbank! My guess is April 24. Just for fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll say April 22nd! It's been quite a winter! Until I discovered your blog several years ago I had never heard of St. Urho's Day. You should be honored for educating so many on this special day! Happy St.Urho's Day to you both!
ReplyDeleteApril 2
ReplyDeleteApril 10. things should warm up in a hurry. Have a big celebration for St. Urho's day.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Urho’s Day to you. I had never heard of it. I’ll say April 19 because it’s our Grandaughters birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
My pick would be 16th April , never heard of St Urhos day till now
ReplyDeleteI've already won once so I will give others a shot. No wonder you don't know about corned beef and cabbage as you are always celebrating St. Urho's while us Irish are celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Happy St. Urho's Day!
ReplyDeleteMarch 26 would be a good day for all of your snow to be gone. Thanks for sharing St. Urho’s Day. I had forgotten about it. I like seeing all the purple.
ReplyDeleteAh! Two highlights of the year- St Urho's Day and the Snow Stick contest. I'll choose April 22, Earth Day.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is March 31.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is April 14th
ReplyDeleteBarb says April 28
ReplyDeleteApril 20
ReplyDeleteKay guesses April 12, My son’s birthday. Now it’s Happy St Patrick’s Day!
ReplyDeleteApril 14th
ReplyDeleteApril 12
ReplyDeleteApril 11th. My 68th birthday. yay.
ReplyDeleteApril 3
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the snowstick is April 8th.
ReplyDeleteApril 13th
ReplyDeleteI was going to say April 13th, since it wasn't showing on your list, but I see it's been picked, so I'll be more specific and say April 13th afternoon. You have had a loooong winter, so I hope your snow goes sooner than that for your sake!
ReplyDeleteOK Connie, this year I'll guess April 26th for your snow stick contest. I'd like it to be sooner...but we sure got a ton of snow this year. So I'll stick with that date. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay guessing is closed! Thanks everyone!
