Registration & check-in notes
Even if you already registered for Family Equality’s programming online, you must come to our in-person registration so we can check you in for the week. COLAGE will also be at Crown & Anchor to check-in youth registered for their programming! For those checking in in the morning, enjoy stickers and photo opportunities with the amazing Pink Lady. And those who check-in in the afternoon can enjoy the same with the one and only Lilly Rose Valore! PLUS, we have welcome bags filled with goodies from our generous sponsors, so be sure to stop by!
