Great Lakes Bay Pride Festival and Pride banquet: These events represent the organization's largest public education opportunities and provide a way to introduce our other educational programs to potential participants. The Objective of the PRIDE FESTIVAL is to educate the public, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals, straight allies, and the general public on LGBT issues, rights, service providers, cultural sensitivities, and connections to relevant resources. The Pride Festival also promoted unity and visibility among LGBT, corporate and individual Allies, and the community. It celebrated pride, freedom and equality for all in the Great Lakes Bay Region. The organization gathered several public and government service providers, businesses, and individuals to be onsite to educate attendees individually and make connections to needed services, which is vital to our community's health and welfare. Invited community speakers addressed attendees to educate on current legislative issue, local rights movements, and community welcoming. A particular emphasis was placed on families and children; the organization developed a family fun educational area. This area held active, hands-on activities to educate children on LGBT people, biases, and how to live in harmony in our community. This area also contained an educational area devoted to Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM), which is an important message in our rural region. This educational event was attended by approximately 1,000 people, including many families and children. The organization developed on-going relationships with attendees who began to participate in other educational programs offered throughout the year.
