Thirteen masked protesters carrying a banner identifying them as the white nationalist group Patriot Front protested Saturday Prattville’s first-ever Pride picnic, which had been planned as a celebration of the town’s LGBTQ community.
Anna Evans of Prattville owns a shop downtown that hosted the event on the banks of the Autauga Creek.
About 100 people came to celebrate at what was supposed to be a laid back event. Evans even brought her 3-year-old to wade in the water.
