Ferndale Pride is one of Michigan's largest annual pride celebrations. The annual street fair is an inclusive one and shows support to local charities and businesses that are LGBTQ-affirming. In advance of this year's event, a pre-pride Annual Hot Daddies Contest will be held as a fundraiser at SOHO Ferndale on Saturday, May 18.
"Hot Daddies returns to SOHO Ferndale. We need some sexy Daddies (35 and older to compete) to come out and to be crowned Ferndale's next Hot Daddy and raise money for Ferndale Pride," wrote event organizers. "Tito's Handmade Vodka will be there to make sure your drinks are flowing! Prizes for the winner and the honor of dethroning Paul Gazda to become this year's Hot Daddy!"
To find out more information about entering the contest or simply attending, visit Ferndale Pride's Facebook page.
