On a pleasant Saturday afternoon, Sept. 16, 2017, hundreds of people went to Gough Park to celebrate the 2017 Silver City LGBTQ Pride Festival. There were over 40 informational and vendor booths, a food court, face painting, a Kid Zone, singing and dancing and, of course, the ever popular Doggie Drag Show.
