It’s
July in Vermont and that means it is Pride season. This year the annual
Vermont Drag Idol competition has teamed up with the Sisters LeMay and
Higher Ground to present the biggest Pride party EVER! With 135 Pearl’s
recent closing, this “Pride Beach Ball” will be THE place
to be on the night of Pride, Saturday July 8th. For the first time EVER,
the Pride party will have something for everyone (no matter your age.)
The 3rd Vermont Drag Idol will kick off
the evening at 7 pm in the main Ballroom of Higher Ground. This event
features the BEST of amateur drag performers from all over Vermont as
they compete for the coveted title of DRAG IDOL 2006. This event is all
ages and is modeled off of the popular American Idol where the audience
gets to vote on who they like best. This part of the evening is a fundraiser
for Outright Vermont, the state’s only queer youth organization.
Contestants are currently being recruited
for the two age categories for performers (17 and under, and 18 and above.)
Visit the Outright Vermont website: www.outrightvt.org for more information
or call the office at 802-865-9677. No experience is necessary and each
performer is limited to one song (lip-syncing only please!)
Come be part of the fun. Tickets are
currently on sale for $12 and will increase to $15 on the day of the event.
