Pride Guide 1999 GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE

All-day festival marks 30 years since Stonewall

Dayton will be commemorating the 30th anniversary of the June 28, 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village, New York with several special events. The Dayton Lesbian and Gay Center is sponsoring a Pride event on June 20.

The event will be held at Celebrations Banquet Center, 3119 Stop Eight Road. The party will start at 12:30 pm and continue until 7 pm. This will be an indoor and outdoor event with food and a cash bar.

Plenty of entertainment has been scheduled for the afternoon. Dayton City Commissioner Mary Wiseman is scheduled as guest speaker. Tom Sanders, who appears at Jessie's Celebrity's Showbar, will emcee. An eclectic group of entertainers have signed on to perform at this event, including, but not limited to, Wishing Chair, Therapy Sisters, Cactus Pears, Justus, and the award-winning Tracy Walker.

Volunteers are still needed for this event. If you are an entertainer, musician, or comedian this could be the perfect opportunity to showcase your talent.

The celebration will include games, prizes and a variety of merchant and nonprofit organization booths. Included among the vendors will be Tamara West, offering Pride, hemp and Native American inspired jewelry, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (P-FLAG), Youth Quest, Subtle Expressions, the Ice Cream Shack, and Out and Out Dayton.

Room is still available for vendors and

groups who want to participate in these festivities. Vendors, performers and anyone interested in volunteering their time and energy to make this event special, please contact 937-274-4297 (937274-GAYS).

On the following Wednesday, June 23, Faith United Church of Christ, 200 Delaware Avenue, will host a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

The evening will be filled with readings from books, magazines, newspapers, plays, music, and poetry that celebrate gay and lesbian life. Anyone who would like to perform must bring their own equipment, cassettes, records or CDs. This event is free. Complimentary refreshments will be served. Please bring a dessert to share.

If you are interested in reading or performing, please call the Dayton Lesbian and Gay Center hotline, 937-274-1776, go to option 8, and give your name and phone number. We need to know how many people will participate. However, you may also sign up to read or perform at the door the night of the event.

The event is being co-sponsored by Faith United Church of Christ, Out and Out, the Catalyst, Pride '99, Spectrum, Metropolitan Community Church Dayton Parish, P-FLAG, Community Gospel Church, Dignity Dayton, Q! and People of All Colors Together.
