Happy Pride Month!!!

 

 

 

    St. Pete Pride 2012 is in full swing. There are ton’s of fun events planned. To see them all visit www.stpetepride.com . The Out on the Street Promenade and Super Inviting Street Festival is scheduled for Saturday, June 30th. The Parade starts at 9AM so plan on being there by 7-8AM. OMG that’s early!! Pancake Breakfast Benefit by Una Voce at MCC King of Peace and other breakfast goodies at Georgie’s Alibi! From a person with a float in many parades… this is also the most over whelming parade of all the parades. It would be a big relief to see barricades put in pace to protect the floats, marching units & viewers.  Always an awesome Gold Star event for Tampa Bay and all of Florida. An anticipated record breaking attendees coming from all over the country will be here. It takes a full years planning with lot of time, energy, volunteers and management team to put such an extraordinary Blue Ribbon Festival in place.

    With all that being said… did you know Mark & Carrie were at the very first St. Pete Pride organizational meeting with 14 others at Grand Central Station??? Together with Judy B Goode & Paul Thomas, Mark & Carrie hosted the very first St. Pete Pride fundraiser too. We have been in all the Pride Parades in the past & plan on continuing to be in the many future ones too. Happy St. Pete Pride Everybody!!!

     Hmmm…. Maybe, Tampa should think about forming a committee for a  PRIDE Celebration to Tampa again! (A different time period of course.)
