For 3 years, the City of Ferndale, Michigan has had a festival of community pride called "FERNDALE PRIDE". A family fun event in early June of this year, they estimate from 10,000 to 15,000 attend it. They have a 5k run/walk to support diversity and anti-bullying as a bad concept; morally and legally.
The group of great citizens lead by former Ferndale Mayor Craig Covey mentioned frustrating issues setting it up this year. THE GADFLY thanks Mr. Covey and his team for sticking with this important Festival. We actually talked to him at this event. He mentioned (this was before he officially ran again for Mayor) he was interested in again perhaps going into politics. We are sorry he didn't win his lasted run for Mayor. Mr. Covey and several other people continue to bring the event to Ferndale.
“We are a proud city,” said event organizer and former Ferndale Mayor Craig Covey, “and we are proud of the volunteers and businesses owners and residents who continue to make Ferndale a beacon for acceptance, inclusion, and diversity in our state.” PRESS RELEASE
The main Sponsor, Motorcity Casino, seems to do a great job. The 75 booths were sold out with an estimated 15,000 people attending according to the organization's press release. The music was great. THE GADFLY is definitely going to do a bigger scale article next year on this event.
The event raised $15,000 that went to local charities! The amount was up 40%. Business space rental was up 15%, Mr. Covey reports.
We will take more pictures and video next year. :)
