Pride Parade

Saturday was completely chaotic but so much fun! We dropped one car off close to the festival *early* on Saturday morning, checked in for our booth assignment and got the booth set up. Then we drove the other car over to the start of the parade. We put all the banners together and met our group. We had more people show up this year, which was my goal, but not a lot, so we didn't have enough people to do the Chinese dragon moose we had.











When we got to the booth we sat around and talked to everyone and that was a lot of fun. Sammy, Jordan and one of their friends were running around getting free stuff from all the different booths and Claudia was hanging out with one of her friends.


I had woken up with a migraine and so the heat was making my headache *super* bad, so around 1 we left and went home for lunch and then Jamie went back to work at the booth again. I felt a little better after more medicine and sleeping for a while so I took the girls back up there in time to buy stuff they wanted and help Jamie break down the booth.

All in all, I think it was a success. I think it's meaningful for faith communities to march and participate in the festival. I think we got the ball rolling this year so next year will be even better.

The event made the paper.
