PRIDE '08 commences with 'Spring Fling'

Event details: Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 5th, 2008, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight for a 'Spring Fling' at Eagle's Hall in Modesto. This event is hosted by the Stanislaus PRIDE Day 2008 Committee and the Owl Empire of Stanislaus County, Inc.

The event is open to ages 18-up only. Tickets are available at the door, and are $15.00 per person.

The dance party features a Dating Game hosted by "Sondra St. James", a popular drag queen from Stockton with a cult-like following. She's sassy, saucy and she tells it like it is...

The evening's DJ, Diane Pena of Kustom Stars Mobile DJ Service, is a favorite amongst attendees of past Bay Area Community of Women (BACW) dances, as she provided music for such events for many years. Diane is retiring from her full time job in April to turn her DJ hobby into a full time career.

The 'Spring Fling' is the first of a series of year-long pride activities in the greater Modesto area. May 17th will feature a comedy night with Karen Ripley (a favorite of LOGO TV viewers) at the State Theatre, followed by the Fellow Travelers GLBT historical photo exhibit (in partnership with the Modesto Art Museum) in June at Cafe Deva, and then the area's third pride celebration on September 27th at Graceada Park in Modesto: Stanislaus PRIDE Day 2008.
