Pagan Pride Day on Saturday was very nice indeed. We had at least 200 people and quite probably more. The weather was nice. We collected for the Erie Zoo.
The opening ritual went fairly well. We included the Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet Again thing, and I added the usual “Oh Mary!” + snap, which is a local tradition. It makes us happy.
Fave lines during clean up. Jim had helped tear down one of the big tents and put away the tent poles. He walked over and told Cindy, “Well, I just laid some pipe in your husband’s trunk.” One of the other board members chimed in with (seeing as how we were pretty close to done with clean-up) “That’s probably our last load of the evening.” I giggled. Because I am apparently 12.
After I left, a woman injured herself by the bonfire and apparently there was an ambulance called. She is doing okay, and is looking forward to next year. I am very proud that some members of the coven that I belong to helped her in various ways. I feel really happy that we have so many good people in the local community.
I posted a feedback form for the event at the web site. I still have a bunch of responses that were submitted on paper to key. One of our board members was wonderfully dutiful about getting folks to fill them out. Yay!
