With live music from the @minorikeys , Story time from @katarinamirage and @danpoblox courtesy of the @lgbtqcenter , as well as arts and crafts from our friends at the @dutchesspride , the afternoon portion of Out On The Farm offered something for everyone and it provided a truly unique place for queer families to gather and connect.
