June is Pride Month and we are SUPER excited to be partnering with KCA School on a fun celebration event this year!
“Walk with Pride” was previously scheduled for Tuesday June 22, but has been postponed due to extreme weather until Wednesday June 23rd.
Join us in celebrating the differences and diversity of everyone in our community. Walk with Pride down a dedicated and decorated section of the harvest moon trail, stop at the photo booth and snap a selfie, enjoy a lively atmosphere and have some fun with your friends or family bubble. Hang and chat with our Pride Ambassadors, learn more about what pride means to others through poetry and art displays, and think about what Pride means to you.
The event is scheduled from 6:00pm-8:00pm, but the poems and art work will be left for anyone to enjoy on their own for a few days after. Parking for those attending the staffed event from 6-8 is available at KCA School on Gary Pearl Drive. Please park in the lot vs. along the side of the road to avoid congestion and keep things safe for all attendees.
Dress up if you like, or come as you are. We will have staff on site to guide you, and of course our Pride Ambassadors will be there too, keeping the vibe positive and handing out some cool swag! Remember there will be plenty of photo opportunities, and Spike is excited to make an appearance as well.
