LGBT Table at Blues & Jazz Fest

On the weekend of August 1 & 2, 2009, the Erie Art Museum presented the Jazz and Blues Festival in Frontier Park, Erie PA. Many community-based groups had info booths. There was a GLBT booth staffed by Erie Gay News and LBT Women of Erie. The LBT Women of Erie also had a great time socializing in the field. The GLBT booth was between the political progressive booth staffed by Erie Peace Initiative and Health Care for all, and also the United NeoPagan Council of Lake Erie booth. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the great music and wonderful company!
