Program for GO!Finnmark on racestart day

12.mars er dagen for starten av Finnmarksløpet 2011. Det betyr også at det er nok av spenende ting å få med seg på kulturfronten. Nesten uansett hvor du befinner deg i fylket vil du finne noe spennende nær deg.

At the start today at 11:00 teh Sami artist Elin Kåven greeted the mushers and wished them a happy journey in her own special way.

There will be a lecture about distant galaxies, black holes and powerful supernovas. Also, the show includes a unique performance by the band ÀJA consisting of Kai Somby, well known from the band Intrigue and Harald Devold.
