If you read my earlier post you’re probably wondering what the deal is with the cross-dressers from the campground… aren’t we all!
Harding’s Point Campground is located on the Kingston Peninsula, a ferry ride across the river from Grand Bay-Westfield’s Brundage Point River Centre. The campground has a couple of fun events throughout the season that visitors and long-time residents can participate in – things like Christmas in July for the kids, or this year it’s Halloween in August.
One of these long-standing traditions is a “fashion show” for the adults, which happens in the evening after the kids have gone to bed. It includes good music, more than a few drinks, and yes, cross-dressing. Part of the tradition even later that evening is for the “ladies” to cross the ferry at least once to give the ferry passengers a good laugh. For the first time this year these partiers have a destination on the Grand Bay side of the ferry – the new Brundage Point River Centre – which conveniently has a bar. And even more convenient for this year’s fashion models was the private wedding happening in the River Centre when the ferry landed, which made for a perfect party crashing opportunity.
Of course, this is Saint John where everyone is welcome, so rather than crash the party this lively group of middle-aged and above drag-queens ended up being welcomed with open arms! The attached pic is one of me (frozen just in off the water as you can tell from my blue lips) and a 73 year old diva.
