Mates Leather Weekend XXV

A Record-breaking Year for SNOWBOUND! Mr. SNOWBOUND 2022 Announced

February 28, 2022/in News /by Rick Conley

The Fourteenth SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held February 25-27 and by all accounts was a great success with 200+ leather folks in town to celebrate brotherhood and charity.

Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2022, Cameron Peirce of Boston, MA, who brought in the most donations ($4,269.55) with his winter/leather-themed photo submission. The nine contestants collectively raised $17,804.40 for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, the largest amount raised in SNOWBOUND history.    Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was Andy Sell, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2020/21 of Boston, MA.

While there can be only one winner, it is equally important to applaud all contestants for their fund-raising efforts especially three contestants who brought in over $3,000.00 each, an outstanding contribution.  They were Christopher “Cook” Puzio ($4,259.80) and Stephen Perkins ($4,198.50) and Bluf4414 ($3,233.40), .

Jay Falcon, 2011/2012 Northeast Community Bootblack, 2012 International Community Bootblack 1st Runner-up and SNOWBOUND/Mates Leather Weekend Resident Bootblack was performing his services throughout the weekend.

Kudos to the men who participated in the Free Health Screenings provided by the ASGCC at their Drop-In Center located at 148a Commercial St.  Their proactive approach towards their health and the health of your partners should be mirrored and lauded.  Thanks to Peter Johnston and the ASGCC team for providing this important service.  asgcc.org

Get Outta the Cold and Into the HEAT at Snowbound Leather Weekend

About Mates

A kick-back, have a good time, meet some hot new friends weekend for those who want to hang out, socialize, relax or party with other like-minded people in Leather, Rubber and Uniforms.

Mates Leather Weekend is brought to you by Rick Conley, longtime Provincetown resident and leatherman. I want to thank all MLW sponsors, friends and past participants who have contributed to the success of Mates Leather Weekend. I’m grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made along the way.

I take great pride in the quality of men and women that attend MLW. There is no attitude here, just folks that are down-to-earth, friendly, and nice to look at. It takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this. I hope you enjoy it.

Provincetown

Provincetown is a gay-friendly oceanside community. Generally the weather is cool in the fall, making it ideal to wear your leather, rubber or uniform. You can feel comfortable shopping, walking the streets day or night, dining, hiking on the beach and touring the bars in your leather, rubber or uniform…and I hope you will!

What They Are Saying

As literally the only guy in street clothes I can say I had an amazing time. Everyone was respectful of me and never questioned why I did not dress. I am coming next year! The vault party was a memory I can hardly forget.

Thanks for doing such a great job organizing the weekend! It was my first time at Mate's and I had a great time. I'll plan to be there next year.

Attended the 2007 competition and totally enjoyed every aspect of the event. It got me thinking about entering the competition for 2008. A great event guys, keep up the good work!

This event was a BLAST. I had more fun & met more sociable MEN here than I have ever met at any other event or venue. See you again in 08. Rick, you've done a superb job!
