The Minneapolis Aquatennial announced earlier this week that the Minnesota Gophers head football coach PJ Fleck will be the CenterPoint Energy Torchlight Parade Grand Marshal. The parade will run down Hennepin Avenue in Downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday July 19 at 8:30.
Fleck put out a statement that said:
“My family and I are honored to be part of the CenterPoint Energy Torchlight Parade. Everyone has been so welcoming to us since we arrived in January, and I am looking forward to meeting more of our fans and embracing the local culture and traditions. I have heard wonderful things about this family-friendly event and how it helps bring a community together to celebrate our elite city of Minneapolis.
