Kaleva, Michigan - Grasshopper Sculpture Grasshopper Sculpture of Kaleva, Michigan, one of the best welded-junk sculptures I've seen. It's very competently and neatly produced, more than just an oddity. It was built by a local high school teacher and his students. It represents a grasshopper featured in Finnish legend..... Kaleva was settled by immigrants from Finland. The thing stands about 4 feet high at the head. [Sarah Spooldripper, 08/14/2004]
Kaleva, Michigan - St. Urho Tribute - Giant Grasshopper In town is a giant grasshopper made from scrap metal by a
neighboring high school shop class. It is in honor of St. Urho's Day,
March 16, when St. Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Finland, thus saving
the grape crop. Kaleva is a word of Finnish origin. [Kristen Kreiner, 01/27/2001]
