Adult Drag Story Time

Another first for Woodstock, Adult Drag Story Time!

Yes, even adults can appreciate story time, but we have a twist, these picture books are a little bit naughty, with adult humour and themes.

Space is limited for this event. Join us on the patio, on a warm June evening, at the Crossing Path's Guest House and Event Center on Main Street in Woodstock starting at 7:30pm.

The cost is a 'pay what you can donation' at the door. This is a closed/private event and registration is required. This is to ensure the space remains a safe space for all to enjoy.

This is a alcohol free event.

Pride Family Potluck BBQ & Picnic

Join both The Rainbow Crosswalk and pflag Western Valley NB for a family potluck BBQ and picnic.

Our venue this year is the patio at the Crossing Path's Guest House and Event Center on Main Street in Woodstock from Noon to 2pm.

We will be grilling up some burgers and hot-dogs. Bring a small dish of your most favourite food you need to share with others.

This event is open to members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and their found families and allies.

For community members who may be experiencing food security concerns, we will always need assistance setting up and cleaning up, so please don't worry about not bringing something to eat, there is always enough at our table and we need to enjoy each other's company.
