Pie Day in Braham Minnesota
Purchase a fresh apple pie for $500? Absolutely! And many more are sold in the three figure price range. I've heard of golden delicious apples, but....
Of course it is all for a good cause. Braham Pie Day drew over 5,000 visitors in 2001. This year 200 volunteers baked and serve 605 fruit pies. How many cups of coffee does that come to? This year Chief "Pie Engineer", Marilyn Mc Griff, designed two new flavors: pear-cranberry and ginger-pear-blueberry...to rave reviews, I might add.
There's also a pie baking and pie eating contest and this year, there was a Scandinavian dance, I think, for the first time.
I (Jerry) was signing books between fork-fulls of pie and gulps of coffee and was happy that I stayed for the dance to wear off the calories. I practiced my Swedish with the Nordanstigs Spelmanslag, from Hälsingland (Glad Hudik!!) and renewed some old acquaintances and for the first time, danced with a national treasure, gold medal recipient for her unparalleled fiddling, O'Torgs Kaisa Abrahamson.
The Braham area has a number of avid readers and business was brisk with a number of past customers purchasing one or all four Vallkulla volumes.
Braham Pie Day has something to offer everyone.
