The South Coast LGBT Network sponsored the second annual SC Pride event on Saturday, 6/2 at Buttonwood Park. The day long, family friendly event featured live entertainment, food vendors, artisan booths and a Kids Zone. The free event was open to the public, and, despite the threat of rain, many people from the LGBT community and supporters showed up for the fun event. The day included yoga in the morning and a wellness walk around the park.
