Pie Capital and Basketball Town host a summer parade August 6
East Central Minnesota--Come to Braham for a multi cultural experience on Saturday, August 6, when the “Homemade Pie Capital of Minnesota” will host a parade at 11 a.m. The multiple cultures we are talking about are pie, basketball, hometown folks and Braham graduates who are coming back for the All School Reunion and the Appreciation Day Celebration. Braham is located one hour north of the Twin Cities on Highway 107, just off Highway 65.
Sports fans will recollect that the Braham Boys’ Basketball team won the Minnesota State Championship for the second year in a row in March, so no doubt there will be some basketball excitement mixed in with all the other activities at the parade.
There might even be a Swede or two or three, since the Orsa Youth Choir, from Orsa, Sweden is in town to perform at the annual Pie Day celebration the day before on August 5. Braham and Orsa are Sister Cities.
The parade begins at 11 a.m. at the Braham Area Schools. The route includes Main Street and Freedom Park, where visitors can enjoy the craft show, the children’s activities and musical performers “Roshan” and the “Os Bond Conrad Spit Band.” There will also be a pie trivia contest at the stage called “Pie in Sky or Pie in the Eye.”
