Decade of the Pasty Cam on this day ^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

From our decade review, name 3 different kinds of poles that appeared, and the years they were seen.

Flag pole, light pole, fishing pole

99,00,06

Flag 99, light 00, fishing 06

Flag 1999
Light 2000
Telephone 2004
Fishing 2006

I had to double-check my calendar after seeing all of those bathing suits in today's photos.

Would the white Polar Bear (2007) count as one of the poles? And is that a Polaris Snowmobile in the background with the headlamp on in 2005?

My cousin Kay Seppala has been crowned this year's Hankooki Heikki for the Heikinpiava Festival: https://www.pasty.com/heikki/hankooki.html

She has a dance group for children called Kivajat who will travel to Finland this summer to perform. They could use some financial help for this endeavor. Kay also does lessons on both a 5 and 10 string kantele. For more info on her dance group and info about supporting their trip to Finland, check out this website: http://michiganfinnish.org/index.php?page=kivajat Go Kay! Go Kay! Woo hoo! That's my cousin!

Congratulations Kay Seppala. You do us proud.
