Father's Day lantern walk, Father of the Year and arm wrestling

On Sunday 8 November at 3.30 pm, fathers and grandfathers are welcome at Meiuse RMK in the Leisi area with children aged 4–12. There will be tasks, cooperative games and a treasure hunt; it is worth bringing a lantern or torch.

Jaanis Sarapuu, a father of three and a businessman, has contributed over the decades to his own family as well as to education and cultural life on Saaremaa. The award was presented at a ceremonial thank-you event in Kuressaare raekoda (town hall).

The extra money will come from the vald (municipality) budget for unforeseen work, for example increasing the main electrical fuse and meeting the rescue service's instructions. The builder promises to finish the building at the end of 2026, before Christmas.

According to Katrin Kuus, head of the construction and planning department of the Saaremaa vald (municipality) government, the oak will not be decorated this year. The strings of lights were taken down from the tree in central Kuressaare last November.

On Saturday 14 November at 11 am, competitions start at Club Divas in Kuressaare, with categories for both young people and adults. Admission is free for spectators.

There are still 2,199 vehicles with suspended registration in the traffic register on Saaremaa, and the motor vehicle tax will apply to 1,496 of them from 2027. The state fee for deregistering a vehicle without a scrapping certificate rises from €15 to €800.
