We may have taken a couple weeks to rest, but we are still overwhelmed with PRIDE at the way Newington showed up in the hundreds for our 2nd Annual PRIDE IN THE PARK!!! Thanks to you, this year was another huge success and such a powerful, inspiring day of visibility, joy, and community. 🌈🌼🏳️⚧️
We’ve already shared so many thank you’s, but we want to say again:
❤️ To the countless local vendors who took the time to showcase their talents, creativity, and resources;
🧡 To the extraordinary Old Milk Mooney, Arcana, and Amaris Valkyrie for joining us to share their inspiring q***r art, and DJ Kirk for keeping the party going;
💛 To Marissa Vaspasiano and Debra Tubbs for partnering with us again this year and providing some amazing food;
💚 To the leaders who joined us and who stand up for our community across Connecticut everyday;
💙 To our truly amazing sponsors Tabletop Gaming Center, CT Newborn, Family & Headshot Photographer, and Modern Chiropractic, and to all of the local businesses and community allies who have partnered with and supported us along the way…
We cannot thank you enough for helping to make this new community tradition a reality. We have grown so much together over the last year, and we are so, so excited for all the ways we’ll be able to keep standing up for the LGBTQIA+ community with your support. ❤️
Pride Month is EVERY MONTH, and we’re not going anywhere! Join us by signing up to volunteer or adding your name to our email list at the link in our bio! 🌈✨
