The event also served as a fundraiser for Alton Pride and the Metro Trans Umbrella Group, two local LGBTQ+ organizations. “It’s a lot about just being supportive of the people who are around us, our friends and our family members and team members and other people in our community who, especially in recent years, have been threatened and attacked,” Lauren Pattan, vice president and operations manager of The Old Bakery Beer Company, said. A variety of vendors were in attendance. Candles, earrings, paintings, pottery and clothing were popular sales items. Charlie Witzel, who owns CBJeeBees , was at the Proud Market selling hand-painted patches.
