Hengaillaan - 40 years birthday party 

Euroviisuklubi OGAE Finland is turning 40 years! 

Organisation Générale des Amateurs d’Eurovision or OGAE was established in Savonlinna in 1984 by Jari-Pekka Koikkalainen. During that same year, Kirka represented Finland at the Eurovisions with the song Hengaillaan.

Moreover, Finland was the location from where the OGAE International started and now the OGAE family’s network has grown into 44 different countries.

If you have a special "hanging out" photo that you would like to present, send it to us! 

Briefly describe what is happening in the "hanging out situation", for example: who is in the picture / where you are / what kind of situation or event it is. 

The pictures and descriptions will be presented in a room where you can watch them during the evening. After the event, the pictures with their descriptions will also be published on the club's website on the members' pages, so take this into account as well.
