East Central Minnesota
March in Pine County Fair Parade to support Pride in the region
For the very FIRST time, East Central PFLAG is organizing a unit in this parade, the biggest in the region. Theme: “A Decade of Pride in East Central Minnesota”. PFLAG is looking for volunteers to help decorate, walk, hold signs, etc. Wear your rainbow bling to show your pride. This is done in effort to thank the overwhelming majority of the Greater Pine City community that has welcomed Pride for 10 years.
The parade begins Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014 at 4 p.m.
