Our Community Pride Month Celebration this past weekend was an absolute success! We are ENDLESSLY grateful to every single person that was involved in making this event possible. It would have not happened without the immense support from our community, and we can't wait to host more like it in the future.

Share your favorite memories here if you would like for them to be included in our highlights video! If you would like to get more involved or help to fund our events, please reach out and we can get you everything you need!

With a world filled with hatred, we have to remain united as a community, and it happened this Saturday.

Less than 24 hours to go until tomorrow's Pride Month celebration!!!

Some good reminders:
It's going to be a HOT day. We will have food trucks including a snow cone truck available as well as the wet bouncer and a few games with water to help beat the heat and a cooling station in the pavilion with free waters available.

Some things to pack and bring for a more comfortable time:
Sunblock
Sunglasses
Towels
Snacks for the potluck (we wanted both options so nobody is excluded)
Water Bottles (donations of water are always appreciated!)
Folding Chairs
Blankets for the lawn
And anything to help represent your Pride!!!!

Please remember that this is our first time hosting this level of an event, and we are endlessly grateful to Jackson TN Pride, Tennessee Inflatables LLC, FSB Insurance, and all of our vendors for helping to make all of this happen!

Come out and support locally owned, LGBTQ+ businesses! If you would like to volunteer, donate, or simply have questions, please let Kal Reasons or Megan McKee know so we can get you more details!

We are incredibly excited to announce our vendors for our June 24th Community Pride event this month at Pugh Bourne Park in Oakfield!

We will have 15 vendors, including 3 food trucks, face painting, a wet bouncer, outdoor games like volleyball, and will be offering a potluck-style meal in case anyone has any allergy or cost restrictions! Just in case since it will be a hot day, we will also have cooling stations set up! This is our first time hosting a free event this large, so we hope to see everyone there!

This is meant to be a day of celebration and community as we come together to remember how far we have come against hatred and bigotry. Every vendor is a member of our group and strong allies that run their own small business, so I hope you take a chance to check them all out to find something you like!

Join us as we have a fun-filled day of family and friends! We can't wait to see you show your PRIDE!!!!🌈🌈🌈
