Casino Night at Trance Raises Money for Erie Gay Pride Inc.

The money was flowing and the high-stakes action "intense" at times, but the June 3 Casino Night at Trance was all in fun and all for a good cause. Sponsored by Erie Gay Pride, Inc., the Casino Night raised $915 which will be used to support this year's Erie Gay Pride March/Rally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 25.

At the conclusion of the games, the participants were about to used their "play money" winnings to bid on the great auction prizes donated by area merchants and organizations including: Gary's Flowers, Eddie Bauers, Surf and Turf Marine, Starbuck's (Millcreek Mall), Tinseltown, Papa Joe's West, McHenry & Company, Bon Ton, Uncle Pete's Kitchen, Roadhouse Theatre, Jerome Arnold LMT, 10th Street Cafe and Market, Erie Sisters, Jewelry by Stephany, The Ultimate Cut, Mohr and More, Blue Heron Inn, WQLN, Mastercuts, Journey's, Celebrate Erie and Erie Art Museum.

This year's Erie Pride March/Rally will feature a variety of speakers, vendors and activities. Events are expected to get underway at 12 noon with the Pride March which will end at Perry Square where the other activities will occur.
