number of vendor booths, and they were all quite pleased.

"Even all of those vendors said that they had a very good day as far as their sales were concerned, so in that respect, we had a fantastic day," he noted.

Pride Dinner and Expo on June 25

The Dayton Pride festivities are far from over, however. While the parade and festival have passed for this year, the Pride Dinner and Expo are still to come. Held this year on June 25 at the Ponitz Center at Sinclair Community College, the event begins with the business and non-profit

exposition with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at 5 pm, followed by the dinner at 7 pm. Lt. Stiver will give the keynote address to the assembled throng, and entertainment will be provided by comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer.

"I think we'll have a very good time with her," Phillips said.

While sales are already on par with previous years, he said that they are going to be doing an intensive push over the next week and half, "so I have full confidence we will top even last year's sales."

Tickets to the Pride Dinner and Expo are $45, and are available on http:// daytonlgbtcenter.org.

A giant rainbow flag was carried through the streets.

EVERYDAY STRONGER. EVERYDAY UNIFIED. EVERYDAY PROUD.
