Hello, friends,
Beautiful beginnings are small. This is just a quick report on my experience at the Freeport "Pride On The Mile" event I talked about in a previous article, the first such event that's been put together. It's an ongoing event at the time of reporting, with a Drag Show taking place at 8:00 PM.
The event consists of three major events, disclosed here:
I spoke to a wonderful person at the Vendor Fair who referred me to many other events taking place all across Long Island. The Vendor Fair is small, yet cozy; but that's to be expected for a first-time event.
I stuck around for a couple of performances at Halfway Down. They were nice, and the place was fairly crowded so that was an awesome thing to see.
Unfortunately, prior obligations have kept me from being able to see tonight's show. I would have loved to check it out.
Other considerations? Parking was plentiful (I remember a time when parking was free, too!), though that might fill up as the night goes on.
And it was wonderful to look down the street and see people like me. It reminds me of the best parts of Freeport.
Which is why it's strange that I didn't see any endorsements from the Chamber Of Commerce. That was a bit unusual, and should be rectified next time this event is held.
Anyway, you've got some time to get down to Pride On The Mile!
