It's The Big One

3,000 GAYS TO ATTEND FESTIVAL '81

The Northern Ohio Coalition has announced that the Third Annual Festival '81 "WE ARE FAMILY" picnic will be held at Wildwood Lake Park in Columbia Station, Ohio on Sunday, Sept. 13, 1981.

Due to the popularity of last year's picnic site, Wildwood Park had again been selected as this year's picnic site. Wildwood Lake Park is located only twenty miles southwest from downtown Cleveland (on SR 252 between Sprague Road and SR 82). The park can easily accomodate the rain or shine event and is large enough to hold the 3000 people expected to attend.

price of this year's advance ticket price has been reduced to $8.00. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate the day of the picnic for $10.00. It would be a good idea to get the advance ticket, now available at the bars and baths, and save the two dollars. The advance ticket sales. also helps the Northern Ohio Coalition make plans for the best time possible. The ticket includes all the beer and pop you can drink, entertainment, disco dancing, swimming, and organized games. There is also much fun to be found on the nature trails in the woods, so we've been told... Various other organizations are planning concessions where a varity of food, games and merchandise can be purchased or played.

Outdoor grills are at the park for those wishing to bring their own food and cook it on the grill. Anyone wishing to rent concession space may contact the Northern Ohio Coalition at P.0. Box 663, Lakewood, Ohio 44107. Advance tickets may also be ordered by mai! t th above address.

Much awaits this year's picnicker including: a beautiful lake for swimming with three waterslides, boats, waterwalkers and various other water activities, disco dancing, live entertainment, games, nature trails and a raffle for big prizes. This year's first prize is a WINDJAMMER BAREFOOT CRUISE and airline ticket to the land of sunshine and rum. The cruise will be enjoyed by either a male or female winner as the WINDJAMMER BAREFOOT CRUISE offers gay cruises for both sexes. Last year's picnic drew people from as far away as Florida, California, Canada, New Jersey, New York and Australia. Be sure to set Sunday, September 13 aside on your calandar for the time of your life...we'ed love to see you in ACTION.
