Warren County Show Some Love 3

Warren County Show Some Love 3
The Crary Art Gallery in Warren Pennsylvania came alive with pride on February 17, 2024 marking the third time Warren County Pride threw their gala fundraiser. Despite a slight decline in attendance due to weather, this event still pulled in funds comparable to previous galas. Live musical performances by Corry musicians Lauren Crowley and Kelly Way, an 8-foot-long charcuterie board custom prepared by Your Daily Serving, and several drag performers taking every opportunity for photos with fans made this event feel truly special. Co-founder and president of Warren County Pride, Sara Culver Provencio, appealed to the crowd and gave examples of how the WC Pride Festival builds community from near and far and thanked the crowd for their involvement. If you were unable to attend the event and would still like to Show Some Love 3 Warren County Pride, donations are proudly accepted at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KWFT69E6B4J5C&source=qr&fbclid=IwAR3HLns6Z9fVG5qcE8dirmTYYDdUMoieTTvJhioOVZPpB6-644z73MKlkls
