Help us crown “Mr. and Miss Sweet 16” and kick off Pride Weekend with a fabulous party featuring DJ Case Simmons, wine and desserts, dancing, a live mini-auction and pageant with Lucien Stern as the impresario, featuring contestants such as Rocky Roulette and Kitten on the Keys, and a spoken word performance of an Yves Moralex poem created in commemoration of Visual Aid’s Sweet 16.
