3rd Annual West Coast Disability Pride Festival
The last two years brought out a good crowd to celebrate Disability Pride. Although the location has changed (see below), the format will be the same. People in wheelchairs and scooters, with seeing-eye and helper dogs, plus friends, some carrying colorful banners, will make up the parade that celebrates disability pride and cultural diversity, as well as the 22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They’ll make their way along Mountain View’s Castro St., ending at Pioneer Park. Once there, they’ll enjoy food, music, a raffle, and performances, and they’ll visit booths set up by vendors and service-providers. Again this year, it promises to be fun.
It’s sponsored by the Silicon Valley Independent Living Center and County Supervisor Dave Cortese’s office.
Everyone is invited. I’ll be there, helping out at the Re-Mobilizers booth (my son’s DME business). It will be a big, double booth and easy to spot. Please come by and say “Hello.”
Details: Sat., July 21, 2012 — 11AM – 2 PM — Pioneer Park (Mountain View)
