The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) had an Estonian involvement 


The first weekend of the CNE had the Warrior Day Parade with a World War one (WW I) flavour commemorating the hundred year anniversary of the beginning of the war.

In the VIP section was Major Ulo Isberg (Estonian Army) in uniform representing the Honorary Consul General Laas Leivat. Major Isberg was back from having spent some months in Estonia where was Public Affairs liaison with the United States Army (parachute regiment).

Covering the massage tables at Sher's Massage, after a year's absence is Estonian Lidia Karpetz, but only on the weekends. Lidia is now a registered accupuncturist which she does regularly.

The Finnish booth carries some elegant Estonian T-shirts again including Finnish wares.

The Ex was pretty much the same except perhaps more elegant.
