2026 will be the FOURTH year I'll have my FREE HUGS booth at Twin Cities Pride. Come down, one and all for a free hugs, words of confirmation, love, welcome, and PRIDE.
As always, we need HUGGERS, so reach out to me for a spot. Everyone who has come down has LOVED the experience of being a dad or mom (or even GUNCLE) to LGBTQIA+ youth!
Don't have a FREE HUGS shirt? I have them for sale!
Many new additions to the booth this year, so come on down!
