SUMMER OF PRIDE….what is this? That is what many people are asking. Well, with all of the things happening with laws to stop or limit GLBT Rights we thought that one weekend was not enough to celebrate PRIDE. So, Lavender came up with the idea of a “Summer of Pride.” It will be a calendar (online and in Lavender) to spotlight any GLBT event in Minnesota this summer….starting with the KICK OFF event on June 10th at the Wilde Roast Cafe. We are getting a tent, some free food, a signing of the Lavender Pride Edition (3D art work) and some music.

Other events you may not know about that will be featured will be anything that wants to be a part of the calendar…you will be able to go to the web site at Lavender and post your event for everyone to see.

Some events I can think of are:

GLASS Tennis Tourney June 10-12th
Twin Cities PRIDE June 24th - 26th (look for our float this year)
North Star Rodeo July 1-3rd
Fringe Festival August 4-14th
others I can think of but don’t have the dates are the Red Ribbon Ride and the AIDS Trek….but, really anyone will be able to enter their GLBT related events to the calendar for all to see.

This will all end on Labor Day weekend in Duluth with OUT Magazines “Hottest Small Town PRIDE” 2005.
