A crowd of more than 500 people gathered inside the Regency Room on Elm Street in Downtown Greensboro on Friday night to celebrate community and the beginning of the “Back to School” season. In this first week of college classes in Greensboro, when the city’s population jumps by almost 30,000 people, the Guilford Green Foundation drew long-time LGBT community supporters, LGBT leaders and activists, college students and friends to its four time a year event.
“Back to School” Green Queen Bingo, with an underlying theme and feel of the 1980s - with 80s music and drag queen performances - kept the crowd going and playing - and donating to Guilford Green - all night long. From 7:00pm until right after 10pm, the crowd played and dotted their bingo cards for the awesome chance of winning at least one of the ten bingo games.
The Bingo event was just one event in a line-up of this weekend’s Triad Pride festivities. After the Bingo event many Bingo-goers headed out to an official Triad Pride party at Warehouse 29, one of only few LGBT-oriented night clubs in the area.
