If that isn’t enough meat for you, then you need to go country at Camp Buckwood in Morgantown, Indiana for the annual Sausage Fest @ The HoeDown. This annual tradition just gets bigger and better every year, just like the men of Indiana! Put on your Western gear, and bring some sides to share. All the meat you can eat is included!

This entire week, leading into the weekend, is Trans Awareness Week at CampIt Outdoor Resort in Saugatuck, Michigan. All people 18+ who want to meet and interact with new friends and who support equal civil rights for Trans people are invited!

Events through Friday include safe and social meetups, massage therapy, crafting, an art fair, pool parties, dance parties, jam sessions, a parade, and a long dinner table pizza party for the whole community!

Come celebrate diversity and be yourself in a comfortable outdoor environment, in partnership with the Grand Rapids Pride Center.

And be sure to stay for Fire & Arts Weekend, which kicks off at CampIt immediately after this festive week.

This weekend celebrating everything creative kicks off with a Performing Arts Night under the Big Top Tent on Friday night. Then, on Saturday, you can chill by the pool, or head back into the big top tent for Naked Yoga with Jeremy. There’s a Makers Fair, Art Swap, and Market in the afternoon.

Then, Saturday evening you can Tour the Arts Installations throughout the park, and close out the weekend with a Fire Dancer Performance, Burning Ceremony, and Drumming Circle hosted by Lucy Fatale and Sunny LA.

International Ink will be giving tattoos on the pool deck on Sunday, and as always there’s a dive-in movie at the CampIt Pool on Sunday night.

It is finally cooling down a bit out West, and Copper Cactus in Queens Valley, Arizona, is open after their summer siesta to men of all types and orientations. This weekend is the monthly Drum Circle, a time for you to connect with yourself, the land, and the men on the land around you.

Men gather from the shadows, smiling, drums in hand, circling the welcoming campfire.  Firelight flashes across rugged bodies in the cool desert night. Closing his eyes, one man starts a simple rhythm, it growing more complex, more heartfelt as the others find their pulse, layering their beat over the changing rhythm.  Positive energy surges through the healing night air as they pound out their own part of the cadence. Each man feels his intention, focusing on his own breath, undulation and alignment. Feeling present, my eyes close and the groove in my gut is wrapped in the voice of our drums. An amazing comfort swells in me, indescribable and lingering, calming and present.
