Yesterday the annual Warrensburg Pride Festival took place at the same venue as last year. The well-attended family friendly event included vendors, information, activities, entertainment, music, discussions, speeches, swag, food (and an outdoor food truck!). And protesters.
An event sponsor’s flags in the parking lot, near the entrance.

Ironic, on so many levels.
The protesters were apparently from one group. Several were across the street, but a few stood in the venue property.
Take it across the street and off private property.
Attempting to debate with a Warrensburg Police Officer.
The officer wasn’t buying it. “There’s nothing going on in there. I was there last year.”
Yep. June 3, 2023:
