On Saturday, November 4th, the Nashville GLBT Chamber held its 2nd Annual Life and Business Expo at LP Field. SMRA was 1 of over 60 booths involved in the all day event. Other participants included local newspapers, bars, churches, realtors, insurance agents, massage therapists, florists, sports teams and more. Expo attendees had cards that were punched at each booth, allowing them to enter drawings for great prizes once completed.
The SMRA booth focused on our continued efforts to expose and educate the Nashville community to gay rodeo. A slide show of pictures taken at the IGRA Annual Convention gave folks an inside look into the fun and excitement of the weekend. Additionally, pamphlets and fact sheets were handed out to visitors that highlighted our activities and website.
Special thanks to SMRA members that worked the booth throughout the day including Justin W., Bill T., Jack M., Skip F. and Terry K.
