Central NC Pagan Pride Days 2012

   I attended this last year for the first time with my husband and daughter in tow and LOVED IT! We missed the first day however due to some intense rain and we didn't want to keep her out in the weather but went back the second day and really enjoyed ourselves. Not quite sure if we're going to make it this year - with my pregnancy getting rougher and my daughter getting to that age where it's hard to keep her entertained in one spot for very long, we'll see how it goes.

   The event is still going strong, however they have changed the name to Pagan Pride Raleigh. Below is a news announcement I received from the Director of PR and was asked to share it on my blog for any fellow NC'ers who may be interested in going. Also check out my blogs & links page for the link to their website.

Pagan Pride Raleigh (CNCPPD)

  The Central NC Pagan Pride Days Festival (now Pagan Pride Raleigh) attracts nearly 2000 pagans, pagan friends and the pagan curious every year. Open to the general public, this autumn celebration offers two days of both entertainment and education through social, commercial and spiritual activities. All are welcome to join or observe rituals, attend workshops, meet local groups, and much more.

Each year we also collect thousands of pounds of non-perishable food from attendees for donation to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC. Last year we collected over three and half tons of food. We hope to do even better this year!

Did we mention the blood drive?

Each year we are working with Rex Blood Services to bring their bloodmobile to the festival for a blood drive that will begin at 12 Noon and run to 4 PM both days of the festival.
