[edit] Juhani Palmu Exhibition in Alahärmä

Juhani Palmu is one of the most renowned contemporary artists in Finland. His production can be appreciated in his own country as well as in 24 more countries in Europe, the United States and Japan. One of his main Galleries is in Alahärmä, 55 kms away from Seinäjoki, Finland. In this gallery visitors can be delighted with Palmu’s long carrier paintings, different thematic. The painting message is mainly related to Finn-Hungarian popular traditions; also the pictures vary from landscapes, women figures, to Old Testament representations. Landscapes have remained a worthwhile theme throughout his career. His paintings describe the power of nature in its seasonal colors, shapes and patterns. Pamu's basic images are simple; Finnish vernacular buildings, the quality of the northern light, ancient symbols, the landscape itself and its inhabitants. His paintings communicate the feeling of environments that have been lived in and the land that has been worked.

Powerpark is one of the most popular leisure centers in Finland. It is located in Alahärmä, 55 kms from Seinäjoki. This amusement park was built at the beginning of 21st century as a dream of its owner Jorma Lillbacka. He ended up developing a surprising and fabulous theme park. It is a recreational park with more than 100 hectares. The area includes the amusement park with a fairy-tale world, hotels, restaurants, cafés, a shopping street, a camping site, the largest karting hall in Europe and the Mika Salo Cicuit outdoor track. This amusement park has 34 different rides, for different tastes and ages, including Thunderbird, Finland’s largest wooden rollercoaster and there is also a new 5D cinema. The activities also include horseback trekking and ATV safaris in Ostrbotnian landscape. The park guarantees a great time for people, plenty of laughter, excitement and hair-raising experiences. Both kids and grown-ups will find their favorites. Devil’s Mine Hotel, the interactive ghost train, MegaDrop, the free fall, Thunderbird, one of the world’s best wooden roller coasters and Booster are some of the coolest and scariest attraction in Finland. Those who like calmer rides can enjoy the traditional carousels or ferries with a lovely view to the Ostrobothnian countryside. It is always important to check the safety limits, for those who are yet not allowed to go to all rides. To see ticket prices, opening days and hours and safety limits, see: www.powerpark.fi
