We're gearing up to celebrate Pride Month coming up in June! To get ready we're talking to Jimmy Prada, who DJed the very first New Paltz Pride March & Festival back in 2004, and is now bringing his years of NYC event production experience back home to the Hudson Valley, through Out Loud Hudson Valley. They're giving us dance parties, club nights, drag shows, and more entertainment that you used to have to hop on Metro North to find. Find out what Out Loud Hudson Valley is up to on their website, outloudhudsonvalley.com, or on Instagram or Facebook. Check out valleygirlspodcast.com/blog for all the links and more info on the HV queer community and the history of Pride! Follow Valley Girls from our show page on your favorite podcast platform and at instagram.com/ValleyGirlsNYpod, youtube.com/@ValleyGirlsPodcast, and valleygirlspodcast.com. Episode music by Robert Burke Warren entitled Painting a Vast Blue Sky can be found at robertburkewarren.bandcamp.com/track/painting-a-vast-blue-sky.
