Paul on Parade

Is the real Paul in Bemidji or Brainerd, or -gasp!, Canada?!

Well, the story that really matters is that the only truly living Paul, our Byway Bunyan himself, will be right here in his own Scenic Byway area riding in parades throughout the year. Expert costumer, Dr. Corinne Johnson, of St. Ambrose University’s Theater Department, designed and constructed the big man’s signature look.

See ‘Paul on Parade’ in Pine River, Pequot, Nisswa and Crosslake. Cheer loudly!
