All systems are go now for the North Brookfield Pride event set for this coming Saturday.
It had been the focus of an ongoing controversy over the way Selectboard members handled the petition for the event.
There were two petitions. One that sought to prevent the event outright.
The Pride event is set for the town green.
A second, separate petition sought to recall several town officials.
Officials in the Selectmen office say petitions were not submitted and therefore the issue has ended.
The petition for the cancellation of a drag show as part of the Pride activities drew the most controversy with the ACLU threatening a court fight unless the town allowed the show to go on.
