Our Deer Lake branch had such a great time this week showing support for the Pride Parade put off by Elwood Academy! 🏳️‍🌈🎊

Our branch was right along the parade route so our staff decided to set up in the parking lot with fun music, flags, lemonade & fruit punch. Over 400+ stopped by to say Hello and enjoy a refreshment.

Happy Pride Month everyone!
