Kearsarge Area Pride events last Saturday were a big success: "Not only did we raise more than $600 for the Affirming Spaces Project, but we danced and painted and read stories and laughed and celebrated — we celebrated each other, and our wonderful community, and our rainbow selves and loved ones."
"Thank you to everyone in town who showed support and displayed Pride flags — you sent a clear message yesterday that we all belong here together. And thank you, all of you who volunteered and baked (both cookies and in the sun) and showed up and helped out to make Kearsarge Area Pride such a huge success."
