Saturday’s festivities began with a parade through Aggieville and back to City Park. Brad Everett, general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn, drove a toy train engine in the parade for those with mobility issues.

“I wanted to come out and help celebrate Pride Day with everybody and get kids out, get smiles going, and just bring a little bit of additional excitement to a special day,” he said.

Community vendors were on hand providing community information inside the Wefald Pavilion. Kevin Bryant serves on the board for the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice.
