Third Time’s the Charm
East Central Minnesota Pride to Host 2026 LGBTQ+ Silver Social for Seniors and Allies
Feb. 15, 2026 | 11 a.m.–3 p.m. | Braham Event Center
BRAHAM, Minn.
East Central Minnesota Pride, the first rural Pride event in the nation, will host its third annual LGBTQ+ Silver Social from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Braham Event Center. The event, held in Braham, the Homemade Pie Capital of Minnesota, brings together LGBTQ+ seniors and allies from Pine, Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec and Mille Lacs counties for connection, community and conversation.
The event includes a free lunch served at 11:45 a.m., featuring pizza pies from Pizza Pub and homemade dessert pies in celebration of Braham’s pie tradition. Attendees can enjoy an afternoon of activities, including a pie walk, drag bingo, live music, a pie social and opportunities to meet with local vendors and organizations that support older adults.
Natalie Matthewson of the Central Minnesota Council on Aging will speak on issues affecting aging LGBTQ+ adults and their allies. Event organizer and East Central Minnesota Pride board member Val Mondor said the Silver Social has become a highlight for many in the region. “It’s community building at its finest,” Mondor said. “It’s inspirational, silly, fun, informative. We’re a demographic so susceptible to isolation; the Silver Social reconnects us with our kin.”
The event is funded in part by the Initiative Foundation, a regional organization dedicated to improving quality of life in Central Minnesota. More information is available at EastCentralMinnesotaPride.org. About East Central Minnesota Pride East Central Minnesota Pride promotes a supportive, inclusive and visible LGBTQ+ community in the region. Through events such as the Silver Social, the organization creates welcoming spaces where people of all ages can connect and celebrate their authentic selves

Book Review:
Enigma Variations charts the life of a man named Paul, whose loves remain as consuming and as covetous throughout his adulthood as they were in his adolescence. Whether the setting is southern Italy, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents’ cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in New England, where his enduring passion for a girl he’ll meet again and again over the years is punctuated by anonymous encounters with men—whether he’s on a tennis court in Central Park or on a New York sidewalk in early spring. Paul’s attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire.
