Hunters, in Wilton Manors, Florida, hosted a Celebrity Lip Sync battle on Thursday, September 19. The event, which saw local community leaders and entertainers perform lip sync numbers, was a benefit for the South Florida charitable organization, The SMART Ride. Local entertainer, Nicole Halliwell, was the event’s MC.

Baked by blistering temperatures, which were possibly the hottest the event has ever seen, the Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade and Festival happened last Saturday. The event saw a reduced vendor area as well, with—to some people’s chagrin—an entry fee of $5. Nevertheless, it was well-attended. Unlike other years, the event didn’t have any official entertainment. However, local drag performer Misty Eyez hosted a show on a stage that was in between Southern Nights and The Pub, and Crystal Waters, a.k.a. the “Queen of House,” performed at Hunters. Several other clubs also had stages set up near their venues, including a pulsing DJ set at The Manor. This was the 19thyear for the Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade and Festival. The grand marshal was local resident and Styx bassist, Chuck Panozzo.

Bearsurrection Fort Lauderdale, according to the organization’s website, aims to “provide comradery within the bear community” and to establish a world-class annual bear event. The hallmark of their week-long event was the second-annual Bearsurrection Fashion Show, which played to a packed house at Hunters on Wednesday. With categories in club-wear, swimwear and business casual, the show featured designs from the popular Nasty Pig line and from local artist/designer Chris Lopez.
