Seedrioru July 6

JAAK JÄRVE

On July 6th I had the pleasure of visiting the Seedrioru Estonian Children’s Summer Camp near Elora, Ontario. The purpose of my visit was two-fold. First to provide some art instruction to the campers and secondly to introduce them to the game of chess.

With the art instruction I showed them perekonnamärgid (family markings from Estonia) and also some of the brands used by large cattle herd owners to identify their livestock. Each camper was given the task to come up with their own family marking based on the first letters of their first and second name.
