3rd Annual Juneteenth Jubilee: Sweet Potato Pie Showcase - June 10 at Mill City Museum

Third Annual Juneteenth Jubilee: Sweet Potato Pie Showcase - It’s about the stories!

June 10, 9 – 10:30 am - Mill City Museum, 704 Second Street S

This will be Sweet Potato Comfort Pie’s 3rd annual celebration of the Juneteenth Jubilee through the Sweet Potato Pie. However, instead of this being a competition, it will be a “Showcase” paying homage to what is considered “the sacred dessert of Black culture.” Anyone can enter their pie.

This year up to 20 entries will be accepted. The two categories are Traditional and Non-Traditional sweet potato pies. Those who enter will get to share their story about why and how of their pie. There will be three pie demonstrations, including Rose McGee’s famous Sweet Potato Comfort Pie. Sweet Potato pie will be served to guests who attend. Due to health regulations, pies in the Showcase are unavailable for sampling to the audience. Community members will serve as judges, although not in the traditional way of selecting the best, but by engaging the audience and the pie makers. It’s really all about the stories! Free to attend.

AWARDS!

Gifts from various sponsors will be given to each of the 20 participants to reinforce this not being a competition but a “Showcase,” a celebration that promotes unity and understanding of the essence of freedom for all.
