Osallistumme YK:n kansainväliseen Oranssit päivät -kampanjaan 🧡
YK:n Oranssit päivät kampanjaa vietetään joka vuosi 25.11.-10.12. välisenä aikana tarkoituksena kiinnittää huomiota naisten kohdistuvaan väkivaltaan ja edistää sen lopettamista. Joka vuosi maailmalla valaistaan tunnettuja rakennuksia oranssiksi. Oranssi väri symboloi toivoa tulevaisuudesta, jossa jokaisella on oikeus elää ilman väkivaltaa. Pietarsaaren kaupunki valaisee Raatihuoneen ja Pietarsaaren museon.
Vi deltar i FN:s internationella Orange dagar-kampanj 🧡
FN:s Orange dagar-kampanj äger rum varje år mellan den 25 november och 10 december. Syftet är att uppmärksamma våld mot kvinnor och främja arbetet för att stoppa det. Varje år belyses kända byggnader runt om i världen i orange. Färgen orange symboliserar hoppet om en framtid där alla har rätt att leva utan våld. Staden Jakobstad belyser Rådhuset och Jakobstads museum.

Ever dreamed of stepping back in time? 🚜
In Kronoby, there’s a hidden gem for anyone who loves tractors and nostalgia.
Holmlund’s Tractor Museum isn’t just a collection – it’s a labor of love. Inside, you’ll find 50 unique tractors, each carefully restored by Bjarne Holmlund himself.
Most date back to the pre-1960 era, carrying stories from a time when farming was the heartbeat of everyday life.
After exploring, relax in the cozy café with seating for more than 50 guests and soak in the atmosphere.
The museum welcomes both groups and individual visitors by appointment only.
One thing’s for sure: you won’t leave without dreaming of owning a tractor of your own!
