We have decided to make our alpaca days, a chance for not only traditional alpaca days activities, but also a non profit festival where queer owned artists, authors and crafters can come together to support one another, to bring awareness to our visibility in our communities and lastly to thank our community for its support now and in the future. Because we are "Shady Pines", we simply couldn't resist the temptation to coin the phrase "Thank you for being a friend" in our slogan! ..and we mean it. Our event will have vendors, musicians, drag performances, live bands and more! We sincerely appreciate the support we have gotten. I'm also a navy vet and I think it's important, especially in these small rural towns that supporting veterans and veteran owned businesses can also look like celebrating queer ones! Id like to add, in closing, that in the political climate in which we find ourselves as queer Ohioans, it's essential now more than ever to be visible. We often talk about the importance of being "out" year round and not just at pride celebrations. Well, this is exactly what we have all been talking about for years, right? This is it! As queer business owners, we all provide valuable resources to our communities. Let's come out and show who we are!
