Shuswap PRIDE invites LGBTQ2S folk and friends/supporters for a community potluck picnic at the picnic shelter in Blackburn Park.

“Join us as we celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ2S) social and self acceptance, achievements, legal rights and PRIDE,” says the Shuswap PRIDE Facebook page.

Those attending are asked to bring a cold food item and something (non-alcoholic) to drink, along with a chair or blanket. Plates, cutlery, outdoor games and music. Some people are bringing guitars and you’re welcome to bring yours.

Set up begins at 5 p.m. and dinner will take place at 6.

For more information, call 250-833-6100.
