For the second year in a row there will be a PRIDE Fest to celebrate the diversity and strength found in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender and queer (GLBTQ) community. This alcohol-free event will take place from Noon to 6PM, and is free and open to the public. “
“Everyone should come to this event. We have several straight supporters, such as PFLAG, who are working hard for gay-rights and who will be there sharing information, as well as our GLBTQ community. Anyone who just wants to connect, maybe hear and see some great performances, make a new friend or two, or get involved.” Quote from PRIDE Fest Coordinator, kali Brewster.
