The annual Up Your Alley Street Fair was a great success, despite less-than-balmy temperatures. The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District booth was nicely positioned, and got a great many visitors.
Our booth volunteers answered questions about the Cultural District, signed up folks for our mailing list, handed out 500 LeatherWalk postcards, and sold our classic pins and bandanas in lots of popular colors. Our new t-shirt was on display, so folks could check it out our before ordering their own online.
Safety Blows distributed 443 whistles using our booth. [For more info on the whistles and safety in SOMA, visit our Safety Resources page, or SafetyBlows.org.]
Our Gear Swap was a lot of fun: people enjoyed browsing the kinky merchandise, and appreciated the chance to buy gear at super-affordable prices, while generating over $1800 in revenue for the Cultural District. We look forward to holding another Leather / Kink Gear Swap at the Folsom Street Fair in September. Read more about our Gear Swap here.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make it possible. Happily, we had enough volunteers to allow them to take short shifts, so they could fully enjoy the Fair as well. You can sign up to volunteer with us here.
