Lebanon LGBTQ community celebrates with Pride Fest at Mills Center

Lebanon Pride celebrated Laclede County’s LGBTQ+ community for the fourth year in a row this Saturday. Attendees gathered at the Mills Center to enjoy community booths, food and more. “This is our first or second as officially being our nonprofit, Lebanon MO Equality Project,” said Alexa Jeter, one of the event’s organizers and member of the Lebanon MO Equality Project. The headlining events at this Pride Fest included a drag show with performers from Springfield as well as story time. Jeter noted the family friendly attire at the event and the value of LGBTQ+ presence for those in the community. For more on this story, see Wednesday's LCR.
