Regional/Cultural Day
Jaapaev
Proposed. The day the lakes freeze solid enough to walk on. The fishermen drag their sleds onto the ice. The augers drill holes. The lines go down. The tip-up flags signal a catch. The wind is brutal. The coffee in the thermos is hot. The catch is small. The story is big. The ice fisherman does not fish for food. The ice fisherman fishes for the right to say he fished.
