would it bother you if a group of pagan people come and rent out the park and....?

Question

throw a big party for everyone in town, give out pizzas and sodas and prizes and the only catch was you would have a choice to ask for some information or not?

let's compare answers with this question: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoTvad5WVYvJ1cZubDKcYpPlPhV.;_ylv=3?qid=20070918072441AA46aJj

the big difference is that we don't make you "pay" for a free party by forcing you to listen to what we have to say. There would be an info booth where you could ask questions and pick up pamplets, only if you wanted to

nandina - yes, that's EXACTLY what they are all about! thanks mentioning that : )

(((SKALITE!!!)))

at the pagan pride days, there are usually many wonderful and diverse vendors creatrix - glad to have you along!

Answer 1

I'd be there - as long as you don't mind a bunch of rowdy Asatru vikings. We'd even bring the beer!

Answer 2

San Diego's Pagan Pride day was last Saturday. Now I am looking forward to Witches Night Out. Our Local COG has rented out the Crystal Ball Room (which is owned by Chaldean Christians). It is going to be a great time, despite being a dry (no alcohol) event.

Answer 3

Sounds like fun. I am interested in learning more about the beliefs of the Pagans (I'm reading some about it at http://www.paganpride.org/, but will no doubt have questions). Maybe I'll check out the one in Dallas when the time comes.

LOL @ arktikna - I don't think everyone got your South Park reference.

Answer 4

Probably not. I suppose it might bother me if I had planned to do something else at the park and the Pagan party interfered in some way, but that's certainly no one's fault. And I do like prizes.

Answer 5

That is what Pagan Pride Day festivals are about, but that doesn't mean that Pagans have to limit ourselves to just one day each year to hold events in parks (as long as we make sure to get permits -- if necessary due to size or the presence of fires etc. -- for those self-same events) Church groups hold picnics all the time or sponsor "Cultural events" like ethnic festivals. I don't see where Pagan Groups cannot do the same thing ESPECIALLY those of us who ARE strongly connected with a particular culture's Gods.

Answer 6

Greetings!

We would help out.

And, the other question mentioned "revival"-I guess that means that his religion has died out, and is being brought back in a different form?

Our Tradition never did die out, and is still just about the same, so we don`t need to "revive"it, just to be allowed to celebrate it-of course, we don`t know if the Ancients had pizza! I bet they had something very similar!

Yours in the Light /!\

Answer 7

You know it wouldn't bother me! lol I do have to wonder why some people will not let these kind of things to happen. Recently a local group was denied because of being Pagan.

Answer 8

If I happened to run into it, I'd probably be curious enough to hang around, as I know next to nothing about pagans.

I wouldn't expect the believe-like-us-or-go-to-hell speeches, either. That's a plus.

Answer 9

Isn't that what Pagan Pride Day is all about? =)

(Well, that and supporting local charitable organizations!)

Our PPD is coming up on the 29th, I'm really looking forward to being able to participate in the drum circle this year, since I actually have a drum now... ::grin::

Hestia's Priestess - one of our local groups used to hold Midsummer open rituals in a park near here. It was awesome. We would end up with a Circle some 30 yards in diameter, standing shoulder to shoulder...

Answer 10

The pagans I've had the pleasure to meet have been some of the best, coolest people I know. I'd go to the party, and I'd visit the booth.
