HICKORY, NC, September 9th, 2010 -- Today, Catawba Valley Pride, Inc. announced the first ever Catawba Valley Gay Pride. The event will take place from Friday October 15th through Sunday the 17th.

On Saturday, a Pride Picnic from 10am to 3pm on the grounds of Unifour Christian Fellowship in Newton will include vendors, a picnic display competition and entertainment on the outdoor stage with gospel music performed inside the sanctuary. Saturday events continue with a Pride Youth Dance at an area church and “Not Your Mama’s Bingo” at Quality Inn & Suites—an entertaining fundraiser supporting ALFA and Catawba Valley Pride.
