Then, on Friday, June 23, 2023, get ready to SQUEAL for another night of demos and tastings at Trade.
And to wrap up the weekend, RMLA is teaming up with other leather organizations to have a float and leather contingent in the Denver Pride Parade. If you would like to march with us, please send us an email at board@rockymountainleather.org so we can reserve you a wristband!
