Hi @withinspiritnj. Like you, we are in the middle of it all. Pride here in Northern Kentucky will take up the street where we are located as well as the big city park next to us. It has been that way for over a decade so we’ve been able to be a part of it by just doing what we always do. Of course, it helps that we are known in the community and have a strong following in the community.
Of course we decorate, starting June 1. Pride bunting on the fences, pride flags, etc. We leave that up for the entire month of June. If anyone doesn’t already know that we owner’s are queer, it’s pretty obvious once you get here. LOL. My employees are all Gen Z and all allies, one of them identifies as trans. They all can wear what they want on their uniforms and uniform caps. Of course, they all choose to wear something pride related, but if one decided not to participate that way it’s not an issue.
This year we are continuing something we started last year — pride flag sprinkles. We have created sprinkle sets in the major pride flag colors (trans, non-binary, bi, etc) and we have the colors to create others that our customers might choose. Here’s a photo of what we had last year.
The point is find something creative to do that is who you are — as a business, as an individual. Most of all, just enjoy the party!
