APEX, N.C. (WTVD) -- Apex plans to host the first of what is planned to be an annual Apex Pride Holiday Celebration on Saturday afternoon. The event comes a week after a drag show in Moore County drew protests before a massive deliberate power outage. Government officials have not established motives for the attack, but the attack has spurred concern throughout the LGBTQ community. DeAnna Conard, the co-founder of Apex Pride, said the incident did cause her group to increase some of its safety plans for Saturday's event.
