Subject: PRESS RELEASE: 2006 Pride In The Arts Festival, The Hills Are Alive!

 

     StoneWall Society Network has announced the first Pride In The Arts Festival to be held in Walton, West Virginia at Longfork Campgrounds and Resort. The Festival is the culmination of over fours years planning by StoneWall Society founder, Len Rogers. The Pride In The Arts Festival will take place June 16, 17, and 18th in conjunction with Longfork Campgrounds and Resort's Pride celebration.

     The theme for the 2006 Pride In The Arts Festival will be "The Hills Are Alive, With The Sound Of Pride!" The focus of the festival will be to encourage "awareness of" and "pride in" art created by GLBTI Artists, (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Intersexed Artists). All categories available in StoneWall Society's annual Pride In The Arts Awards will be included at the festival. There will be three staging areas, to provide for musicians, performance artists and areas established for exhibitions for visual and literary artists. The Film category will be included with film showings throughout the festival. According to Rogers, "The Film Category will be the featured award given this year, festival guests will be able to screen films and vote for the Festival Favorite. 

     The festival will also open the nomination period of the fifth annual Pride In The Arts Awards. "We will accept live nominations from festival attendees." Rogers explains, "The first four years have been an online event. This will bring the Pride In The Arts Awards to a new experience."

     Longfork Campgrounds and Resort, the location sponsor of the festival, will provide an advantageous and unique locale for the Pride In The Arts Festival. Longfork's natural scenic location is secluded and welcomes all genders. Surrounded by West Virginia Mountains, Longfork will make an appropriately breath-taking backdrop to an event focused on art and self pride! Attendees may make onsite Festival camping reservation directly at Longfork Campgrounds and Resort via: reservations at longfork.com or through the Longfork website at www.longfork.com.
