In May, Cherry Grove chooses its first royalty for the season, Mr. Fire Island Leather in mid-to-late May, during the last weekend of pre-season, and Homecoming Queen, during the first weekend of the season proper, Memorial Day Weekend. At the 24th annual Cherry Grove Pride Parade, now the day before Pride in the city, our new Queen, Jizzabella, and new Mr. Fire Island Leather, Errik T., got together for some photos at the dock, and Mike De Santo was there to capture the moment for Fire Island Q News. Hopefully, there will be many more opportunities to photograph them together as the season progresses.
