- Flyers, ads, website, design, posters
- Setup of beer garden, tables, booths

- Administrative Costs
- Flight and Hotel for performers
- Ground transportation for talent
The festival is a great chance to bring the whole community together one weekend a year to celebrate and it costs nearly $100,000. As of now, none of our staff gets paid a penny for their services, and some (especially our Festival Director) give months of their time and money out of their own pocket. We think the event should be supported by the WHOLE community, not just a select few. Please help "save" Pride and make it great this year - become a community member!
