West Michigan Pride moves to John Ball Park
The West Michigan Pride event moved from its previous location at the Calder Plaza to John Ball Park. Organizers said the park offered a more spacious and scenic setting and still drew a crowd.
According to excerpts from the story:
After celebrating their 25th anniversary Dec. 22, Mickey Sikanas, 50, and Hall Chrysler, 66, stepped forward at Pride to again share their commitment vows.
“It’s important to make a political statement,” Sikanas said.
As different as the two couples are, they stood united as West Michigan Pride celebrated its 18th year.
