Donate a canned food item and you receive a chance at the prize table items. The canned food will be given to a local church food pantry. The Lighthouse Church has assisted a member of the Tori family, and the Tori hopes to assist them in their community ministry.
Visitors can also purchase a can of food and donate it for a chance at a prize. Proceeds from the cash donations will go into the Tori general maintenance fund.
Carl Rahkonen will provide live music in the morning. Rahkonen, who holds a Ph.D. in ethno-musicology and folklore, will be in the area as a presenter at Finlandia University.
In the afternoon, local musician Dave Bezotte will entertain with his music. Bezotte, whose heritage is French Canadian, plays a variety of ethnic music, including Finnish.

New vendors are always welcome at the Tori. The Community Garden table is open to local growers with a small amount of home-grown produce to sell. Regular hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday and Saturday during the summer. The Tori is located in Montezuma Park, downtown Hancock, one block south of City Hall.
