Maggie from NWI Pride here! I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who showed up and supported us today! Thank you to our vendors, performers, our team, the city of lake station and everyone else who played a part in making today happen. This has been my little pet project for the past couple of months and I am just so overwhelmed by the amount of love and support that was shown today. If you saw me tearing up, no you didn’t. I am already so excited for next year and ready to start planning! Again, thank you so very much. This has been such a dream to work on!
