THE KIDDIE CARNIVAL came back for PrideFest 2011: Step Up, Step Out. Last year the kids enjoyed many carnival type games such as balloon darts, duck pond and ring toss as well as hula hoop contests and an arts and crafts center where the kids made sand art, did beading for necklaces, bracelets, key chain etc. We had a booth providing face painting, temporary tattoos and crazy hair, which generated some unique and memorable photo opportunities.

As always, the Festival was FREE. However, donations to Identity, Inc. are always appreciated if you wish to help us meet the ever-rising costs of producing a quality Pride Festival, or to help this GLBT non-profit service organization which serves our community.
