About 100 people walked Saturday in downtown Napa for Napa Valley Pride 2009, an event in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. The group left Veteran’s Memorial Park on Main Street, crossed the Napa River on First Street Bridge, followed Soscol Avenue before returning to the park by crossing the river on the Third Street Bridge.

Tony Conlin, 38, of Napa, not pictured, walked with his dog, Gordon. “I want to come to support our small gay community,” he said  during the Sidewalk Pride Walk. “I just hope that the people in town realize there is a gay community here.” Napa Valley Pride 2009 events continue through today.
