About the Pride Fair....
We are very excited about this event. We are always asked by members of the LGBTQ community, "What's around here for us?" We hear you and share your frustration about no knowing what services are in our area, or what businesses are LGBTQ friendly. Now, more than ever, we all want to feel safe...at home, when looking for help, or wanting to socialize.
The Elkhorn Chamber of Commerce is letting us use their facility and the adjoining lot to host our Pride Fair. We are giving local service providers, businesses, vendors, and artisans the opportunity to set up booths and share with Walworth County's LGBTQ community and its supporters how they may be of service to them.

WE WILL OFFER FREE AIDS TESTING
AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin will be at Pride Fair to share information as well as perform free on-site AIDS/HIV testing. Click on the logo to go to their website.
About their HIV testing services; it is free, confidential, and only takes 20 mins to get results. How the testing process works, They will first meet with the individual and perform a risk assessment to determine if an HIV Test is appropriate. If they are low risk, They will be referred to other community services. Should they be moderate to high risk, we proceed with the test. Following the assessment, they will start the test, collect some information, and provide harm reduction/prevention education. The individual does not have to stay for the whole 20 mins, but are strongly encouraged to do so, because results can only be given in person. As of August 8th, here's a list of who will be there.....check back for updates.
