This year will be our 7th wonderful year having Pagan Pride Day. Our theme this year is "Celebrate the Child within". This will be a carnival
theme with carnival games and some carnival foods such as popcorn, snowcones, and cotton candy. There will be a food vendor this year
that has a lot of things to choose from. He even has a vegetarian wrap. We will also have some games for the big kids
such the hammer throw, the Haggas toss, 3 legged race, and a mead(cream soda) drinking contest. There will be prizes awarded in the kids
games and the adult kids games.
The Asha Belly Dancers are back this year with some new routines and Ruin will be doing an Incantation workshop for us. Teresa Werner will
be giving a presentation to the Teens about not falling into the wrong crowd, and Rebecca and her staff from Child Assault Prevention
will be doing a puppet show for the kids called Safe Strong and Free. They will also be touching on the issue of bullying in the schools. Rod Stahl from Child ID will be on hand with The Children's Cabinet,
to do fingerprinting for the kids. You will get more than fingerprint kits. They do digital thumb prints, digital picture and demographics on a 8.5 by 11 inch paper
for the parents so that if they have to report their child missing, they have something to immediately show the police, who they
are looking for.
Michelle from Avalon's gate will be heading up the childrens workshops this year. If you would like to help her you can find her at Avalon's gate.
Susanna is also looking for help at the fundraiser booth. If you are interested email her and let her know. She will have a very
busy booth this year.
Please remember to keep coming
back to the website because the schedule will be up this week so you can see what there is to do this year. It is turning out to be a great year.
There will be a Children's Staff up for Auction. All proceeds from this will go to Child Assault Prevention.
If you are interested in teaching a workshop for kids or adults please email me at margie.ewen@gmail.com Please give me 24 hours to get back to you.
At this time we are accepting applications for vendors,
and Covens/Groups that would like to be apart of Pagan Pride Day. If you are a Coven or group please contact Kelley at weavernv@gmail.com and
she will send you a form for you to fill out and send back to her. If you are a vendor and would like to sell your wares at Pagan Pride Day
please contact Susanna at willowspring1@charter.net and she will send you an Vendor packet.
As we have more information we will update the website.
Once again we are collecting food for a food pantry and as it was last year, for every 5 cans of food donated at Pagan Pride Day, you will receive one raffle ticket for
items donated for the days raffles. Also if you check in at the Pagan Pride information booth you will receive another free raffle ticket. All proceeds
from the Carnival games will go to The Child Assault Prevention Program here in Reno.
If you would like to donate something for the raffles, please contact the Fundraiser Coordinator at willowspring1@charter.net. Her name
is Susanna and she would love to help you. Remember all proceeds go to the putting on of Pagan Pride Day next year.
