Pocatello Pride Celebration

Among the many things happening this weekend, perhaps the most significant is the Pocatello Pride Celebration which actually started yesterday (Thursday) and continues through tomorrow. On Aug. 20 the Pride Festival will take place in the Old Town Pavilion from 2-10 p.m. This will be a family friendly environment that will include booths for face painting, hair coloring, balloons, dunk tanks and more. Sounds like a load of fun and I hope everyone gets an opportunity to participate. I know that the bigots and christo-facists always get their panties in a twist  over this festival ant his year has been no exception, but folks, Pocatello is for all of us. Unfortunately the death of my father-in-law  has me involved in family life events and I’ll be unable to participate this year but I shall attend in spirit.
