FGRA Marches in the St. Pete Pride Parade
FGRA Participated in the St. Pete Pride Parade and
Festival on June 24th, 2006.
FGRA had a wonderful day at the St. Pete Pride Parade and Festival.
A number of our members marched in the parade and we also staffed a
booth at the festival. The weather was fantastic and their was
a huge turnout. The weather cooperated - mostly - with the
rains holding off until the last 15 minutes of the festival.
We had a truck carrying members and the FGRA banners following the membes on foot as they marched down the parade route throwing their calf roping ropes.
We also raised awareness about FGRA and our next rodeo - scheduled for April 13-15, 2007. Thanks to all the members who came out to march and support FGRA!
