We are gearing up for marching with the peace and justice contingent in tomorrow's Millcreek 4th of July Parade. The United NeoPagan Council of Lake Erie (UNCLE) recently got a banner, so we were thinking of having that included as well. However, since I am carrying the Erie Gay News banner, and will have the ginormous rainbow banner and rainbow flag in my backpack, in case we have enough folks to carry them, I really didn't want to bring anything else unless I was sure that someone would be there to carry it. Therefore, I put out a call for volunteers to the Erie Pagans group on Yahoo. I mentioned that I would need at least 2 people.
I got a call from a woman who was up for carrying the UNCLE banner. She mentioned that she wasn't sure if her husband, who is Lutheran would be up for helping. "No problem!", I quipped. "He can always help carry the gay banners." She said that he would probably be even less comfortable with that. ;) Actually, I knew the woman and her husband from years ago via the Society for Creative Anachronism.
So, here's hoping that we get a good turn out and maybe NOT have to worry about rain this year.
