Harmony NC - LGBT+ Allied Chamber of Commerce held its annual trade show, the PrideLife Expo, at the Raleigh Convention Center on Saturday, April 13th.

A live band performed in the snack area that included tables and chairs for a rest. A map with a detailed key to every organization would have been helpful in finding a particular group. I guess that we’ve gone mainstream.
