Salt Lake City Pagan Pride Day 2010
May 18th, 2010 01:50 PM
It's that time of the year again to start gearing up for Pagan Pride Day!

Pagan Pride Day will be Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 10am-6pm at Murray Park Pavilions 1, 2 & 3. Our theme this year is, "The Goddess Columbia: Our Lady of Liberty." Columbia is the personification of the land we live upon and we chose to honor her this year. How would one honor her? There are many ways, for instance picking up trash along a trail honors her by keeping her clean. You can also honor her by showing kindness and charity towards all who inhabit her borders.

This year we say goodbye to TaMara Gold who served as a Local Coordinator and Board member for two years. Her contributions have been many and she worked tirelessly to make Salt Lake City Pagan Pride a successful community project. Thank you so much for everything, TaMara!

This year brings us two new Local Coordinators and a new Board member. We welcome Kasey Conder of the Temple of Isis Utah and Katie Starfire as our newest Local Coordinators. Durriken filled the Co-Chair position on the Board of Directors for Salt Lake City Pagan Pride, inc. and has taken over the financial record keeping.

It is also with much sadness that we say farewell to our beloved Regional Coordinator of many years, Aisling Dreamrange. She founded our local chapter of the Pagan Pride Project and put a lot of hard work into making our Pagan Pride venture a reality. Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do, Aisling!

Stepping into the position of the Upper Plains Regional Coordinator for the Pagan Pride Project is Gwen Gardner of Kalispell, Montana. We are very excited to have her working with us in our endeavor and wish her all the best in her new position.

Please visit the website for more information or to contact a Local Coordinator about volunteering for this year.

Salt Lake City Pagan Pride Day is less than a month away!

*Vendors are full*
We had an amazing level of interest from Vendors this year. As a result, we are unable to accept any more vendor applications. Heading the effort to increase awareness of SLCPPD among vendors this year is Katie, our Vendor Booth/Advertising Supervisor.


*Event Guide*
Our 40 page event guide is done! Advance electronic copies will be available on our website September 12, 2009 before the start of Salt Lake City Pagan Pride. To reduce our environmental impact, we've printed a limited number of copies to be handed out at the event.

*Mother Goose*
It's confirmed! Mother Goose was recently spotted by an amateur astronomer leaving her home on the Moon with her trusty companion, Fooble the Goose. She'll be landing at Salt Lake City Pagan Pride Day for fun stories with a touch of magic. Be sure to tell the kids!

SALT LAKE CITY PAGAN PRIDE 2009
Local Pagans gather to “Embrace the Flames of Change”

Join us for a day in the park and meet the local Pagan community at Salt Lake City’s Pagan Pride Day festival on September 12, 2009, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the Murray Park Pavilions 1, 2 and 3. All ages are welcome at this free event which will feature a Pagan religious ceremony, information on Pagan spiritual practices, workshops, crafts, children’s activities, and even a visit from Mother Goose. Attendees are asked to share in the harvest by bringing a donation of one or more non-perishable food items for the Utah Food Bank.

Modern Paganism, or Neo-Paganism, is a rapidly growing religious movement based on combinations of ancient polytheism, modern eco-spirituality and reverence for the Divine in both masculine and feminine forms. Some common traditions found under this umbrella include Wicca, Asatru and Druidry. Pagans are found in all walks of life and across all socio-economic classes, each holding to strong ethical standards that emphasize respect for nature, humanity and oneself.

Salt Lake City Pagan Pride is a member of the Pagan Pride Project, a non-profit organization whose purposes are the advancement of religion and elimination of prejudice and discrimination based on religious beliefs. The mission of the Pagan Pride Project is to foster pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community.
