March 15th is St. Urho's Day at Take A Hike!
  

 

 Celebrating a Finnish Tradition...

WEAR
PURPLE & GREEN
 
 Many years ago, just before the start of harvest, a massive infestation of grasshoppers threatened the vineyards of Finland. But thanks to the single efforts of St. Urho, the grasshoppers were driven away, the grapes were saved and wine continued to flow.

So to honour this great moment in Finnish history, you're invited to celebrate St. Urho's Day by lifting a glass and wearing purple and green. 

Between March 15th and 31st, when you purchase a purple or green Jewel Pop insert for your Kameleon jewellery, 
we'll enter your name in a draw for a FREE Kameleon 
JEWELLERY BOX.
Retail value $59.

 We also have shamrock jewel pops in honour of St. Patrick.

 We left no stone unturned as we scowered the Canadian Gift Show looking for grasshoppers.
 
Be sure to check out this year's assortment of whimsical grasshopper figurines. Not only will they make a great addition to your home and garden, they'll help you stand out during the St. Urho's Day Parade. 
 
To participate in the St. Urho's Day Parade around the block, please meet outside the Hoito at 11:00 am.The crazier you dress for the parade the better. Food and entertainment are available in the Finlandia Club after the parade.

CELEBRATE
SPRING'S ON THE WAY

The Finns say that St. Urho's Day fun is a great way to help get through the final days of winter.  Others suggest that retail therapy will do the same. 
We say, "Do both."

So while you're our frolicking with the Finns on Bay Street, make sure you take a moment to shop our early spring arrivals from Lole, Cut Loose and Royal Robbins.

You'll also find much of our remaining winter wear and accessories on sale.


Seriously...
