For us it more looks like a pick, but anyway 🙂 .
And yes, we also saw the Christmas cap, really funny! It probably wasn’t the mascot of TYS from the beginning but it seems that they adopted it. At least in the last mail we got from TYS they wrote that it is there mascot…

The duck-part is the shape of the thing. Actually it’s more like a duck than a pig. It’s a duck with piggy’s tail & face. 🙂 Or something like that.
It always gets a christmas cap in December too. I don’t remember how long they keep it, so maybe you saw it too?
It actually has nothing to do with TYS, also not much to do with Spa Caribia, it just happens to be there. It was made in 1999 and first located into Aurajoki, but then they put it there, where it still is.
Our kids love it. 😀
