Ohtola

Ohtola is located by the main road 68, from Virrat towards Ähtäri. The old tradition of shingle-making is cherished and maintained by the shingle-mill association (Päremylly-yhdistys). The association is an active part of the village life and the surroundings of the shingle-mill are now the meeting point of the villagers. The shingles are made in a traditional way with water and machine power. In the spring the shingles are made a couple of times a week by voluntary people and every year the prepared products have been sold. Displays are given in addition. The association is also organizing an annual shingle-throwing world championships. In the recent years it has been organized during midsummer in the Virrat heritage village or in the end of June in Killinkoski in the collectors' event.
