Hei, Pasty-cammers. It has been a long time since I posted (too lazy to look up my password in my email), but again, I need help. I'm polishing up an online exhibit on Heikki Lunta that I'm doing for a Folklore Masters thesis in indiana, and I wonder if anyone out there has pictures of the following:
The Library Bar before the 1995 fire
The 1980s Heikki Lunta Society parades
Interesting Pictures from Hancock's Heikinpäivä or Negaunee's Heikki Lunta Winterfest
The 1970s-1980s Delaware Mine Rides (with Heikki presiding)
1991 Mount Ripley Heikki Lunta dance
Other pictures that show how we use Heikki
I can't offer money since I'm a lowly loan-supported student, but your name would be credited with your picture. The exhibit will be hosted on the University of Wisconsin's Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures website (http//:csumc.wisc.edu) and should be up and running in the spring.
I already have a basic exhibit created, that I displayed at FinnFest in August, but since I have time to improve it before it goes up, I thought I'd ask if any of you out there have pictures in a shoebox to share. Please email me if you got something: hvirtane@indiana.edu
Thanks and keep warm!
Hilary
