Pride Parade 2006

June 24th.

Fayetteville, Arkansas

Although small, this year's Fayetteville, Arkansas Gay Pride Parade 2006 was a success.  Planning has already begun for next year's Pride Parade and promises to be much bigger and better.  Thanks to some very determined people this year, we were recognized by the local press and cheered on by many bystanders on Dickson street.  There were no protesters or hecklers which made this year's event a positive and trouble free activity for all.  Thanks to all who participated to show N.W. Arkansas how proud the GLBT community is.
