2009 - The Queen of Hearts Drag Ball

posted Saturday, 14 February 2009
Thank you!!!
It was the biggest,
bawdiest
and BEST Drag Ball ever!!!

 The 14th annual Winter is a Drag Ball was the most attended event in the eleven year history of Higher Ground.  Over 1,200 people, including staff and performers, were in the building sometime during the evening.  WOW.   Thank you all for supporting the Vermont People With AIDS Coalition, The House of LeMay and the local economy.   LOTS of money was spent on costumes, hair, make-up, props, alcohol, transportation and other "stuff." 

If you have some pictures you'd like to share, send them to drag@sevendaysvt.com where they'll create a slide show like they did in previous years.  We'll post the link when we get it.

For now, here's a few pictures we took... we didn't have that much time... we'd love to see some of us!!!  Send them to us if you can... houseoflemay@hotmail.com.

This was my first Drag Ball and overall first gay event I have been to other than Gay Pride, where I did see your performance. I have such a good time at this ball. I can't remember the last time I have ever had so much fun. Especially being around people who are accepting. Thank you SOOOOOO much for putting this on! I hope to go again next year!
