Hankasalmi Anthem - Steve'n'Seagulls

Hankasalmi is a beautiful municipality in the middle of Finland. It is known for its farms, lakes and forests. There is also a northern lights measurement station and a unique remote observatory, as well as one of Finland's largest wooden churches. Also the world's only skiffle music festival, Kihveli Soikoon!, is held annually in Hankasalmi. Last but not least, Hiltunen's birthplace is also located there. Steve'n'Seagulls has proudly participated in Hankasalmi's 150th anniversary, in collaboration of HELKU ry (local association of living culture), Hankasalmen kunta (Hankasalmi municipality) and ELY-keskus (The Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment).
---
Hankasalmi on kaunis kunta keskellä Suomea. Se tunnetaan maatiloistaan, järvistään ja metsistään. Siellä on myös revontulien mittausasema ja Suomessa ainutlaatuinen etäohjattava observatorio sekä yksi Suomen suurimmista puukirkoista. Myös maailman ainoa skiffle-musiikkifestivaali, Kihveli Soikoon!, järjestetään vuosittain Hankasalmella. Viimeisenä mutta ei vähäisimpänä, siellä sijaitsee myös Hiltusen syntymäkoti. Steve'n'Seagulls on ylpeänä osallistunut Hankasalmen 150-vuotisjuhlaan yhteistyössä HELKU ry:n, Hankasalmen kunnan ja ELY-keskuksen kanssa.
