Puppy Pride 2019
Twin Cities Pride
The North Star Kennel Club will once again be participating in the Twin Cities Pride Celebration. Remember…this year’s Pride is a week earlier than usual, owing to the WorldPride celebration in New York City, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots!
Details are still being worked out, but right now we can confirm the following:
- We will be working a shift at the Minnesota Leather Pride booth.
- We are planning to hold our 2019 Walkies in the Park immediately before or after our shift at the Minnesota Leather Pride booth.
- Based on member feedback, we have decided to forego a separate parade unit this year. Instead, we will be marching with the large Leather Pride flag at the front of the parade!
Duluth/Superior Pride
The Lead Pack will be reviewing options for participating in the Duluth/Superior Pride Celebration at the June membership meeting. If you are interested in participating in an NSKC delegation, join us at this meeting or contact the Lead Pack.
We have also learned that the Twin Ports Kennel Club, a new group that has formed in Duluth/Superior, will be hosting a Pride mosh following the Duluth/Superior Pride Parade this coming Labor Day weekend. As we get more details, we will share them with you!
For more information….
