It was the night of the nights in Tärnaby with the visit of the World Champion alpine skiers Anja Pärson and Ingemar Stenmark at the opening of the international alpine races Ingemartrofén. It was a top opportunity for the worlds most successful ski club Tärna IK Fjällvinden, together with the local business alliance called PR-föreningen, to say thank you and good luck to Anja Pärson in her future persuits. She recently retired from professional alpine racing. The club and the business alliance gave one of the hundred vessels (part of the art project 100 MIGRATORY) as a thank you gift to both Anja and Ingemar. Anja is now the owner of no. 61/100 M ( 19 world championship medals plus 42 gold medals in World Cup races). Ingemar Stenmark recieved no. 86/100M ( he won 86 World Cup races during his career). However, they can take ownership of their glass vessels first after the final exhibition of 100 MIGRATORY in 2014, as the vessels have yet some world-wide journeys to undertake before then.
Speaker at Future Day in Hemavan Tärnaby

Yesterday, the locals around Hemavan Tärnaby had a chanse to get a feel of vessel no. 32/100M as well as a breif glimpse of the expedition of the hundered vessels of glass into the Ulldevis mountains during my presentation at the Future Day. Some of the other speakers were Ola Skinnarmo, the first Swede to reach the North Pole 1998 solo on skis (and the youngest ever) as well as the first Swedish person to ski to the South pole two years later. Peder Karlsson, Joeström Tärnaby, was another speaker. He is living his normal life as a father, husband and schoolteacher in music at the same time he is sleeping 100 nights, in the middle of winter, outdoor under the northern light, in a tent or inside an igloo. I don’t know why, but I found the concept of 100 MIGRATORY fitted in well with the overall program that day…
