๐ŸŽ‰ Meet the Committee Leads:
[Maxwell Wieneke] (Committee Chair) https://www.facebook.com/maxwell.wieneke
Hello! My name is Maxwell. I am a blue-collared transmasc bear. I have lived in the northwest my entire life, and I have always been a fighter who is loud and proud of who I am. I have no plans to stop; I am here to continue making a difference, to be a voice for the voiceless, and to create a

safe space for everyone while educating when possible. I am excited to help coordinate this event with so many wonderful people here in Forest Grove, and I look forward to many more opportunities in the future. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

[Ashton Wieneke] (Social Media Outreach Lead) https://www.facebook.com/ashtonwieneke
Hello! My name is Ashton ๐Ÿฅฐ I use he/they/it/any pronouns. Just like my pronouns list, my microlabels can be a bit long, so I find trans and q***r to be the easiest way to describe myself. Growing up in Iowa and in a traditionally conservative family, I didn't have much support around me to be myself. I moved to Oregon 4 years ago and have finally found the community and family I've been missing. I want to make sure that every LGBTQ+ person has that same opportunity, and I want to help create the space needed for that.

Happy Pride Month!

Itโ€™s time to continue to fight for our right to exist, and to celebrate our wonderful community.

Pride celebrations and events arenโ€™t exclusive to this month, though. Keep your eye out for events all around the Portland Metro this summer! We plan to host some events as well!

Our Pride Social at Taqueria Corona every second Saturday of the month will continue! We have things planned in July and August!

It is with mild disappointment that I have to announce that we are officially postponing our 2026 Pink Pony Pride Pot Luck event until JULY 26TH.

Due to some timing concerns and personal issues that are requiring my full attention and focus, we have made the decision to push out event out a few weeks.

In the meantime, we would really like to promote the market side of the event that we are adding this year and encourage any interested parties to reach out to myself, or the Forest Grove Pride Committee for information on booth/table space! If you are a local farm, homestead, crafter, creator, anyone involved in the agricultural space who supports the LGBTQIA+ community, we would LOVE to have you join us!

Thank you all for your understanding and support at this time, this was not an easy decision but we so hope you will join us on our new date!

New Date: July 26th
Location: Black Horse Hollow
Time: 1-4 PM
Pony rides start at 2 and run for an hour!

POSTPONED Pink Pony Pride Potluck: July 26, 2026

Due to unexpected circumstances, we will have to postpone the Pink Pony Pride Potluck to July, instead of intended date of May 31. This new date has just been agreed upon, and we are updating you as soon as we could. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. We are working hard to make sure this event still happens in the future.
