In the late 1800;s the villages in Sompio would receive visitors from Norway. A delivery of strong liquor once arrived at the same time from Kola. The men drank for several days on end. Some would leave, and others would appear to join the drinking party. A group of men bought a large rowboat, they meant to got to the dance at Luironkyla. Nearly all were stone drunk and when the boat turned over, all were drowned.
