SUNDAY, OCT. 6<\/h3>\n

There is so much people don\u2019t know about Pagans, including us, which is why we\u2019re not even going to attempt to educate you on the subject. Just know that the term Pagan refers to a huge umbrella under which are traditions ranging from Wicca to Neo-druidism to Celtic, Germanic, Slavic and so many others.<\/p>\n

Now, if you\u2019re gonna try and throw the Evil label on these folks, just know that part of Pagan Pride Day at Rainbow Lagoon Park, is a food drive with collected items donated to families and individuals in need.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re going to try and put the Freaky label on these folks, just know that at the front booth of the event will be Mystery Bags stuffed full of special goodies especially chosen for the kids.<\/p>\n

See, you probably don\u2019t know anything about the people who follow a path that is centuries old, has helped shape the foundations of western culture\u2014Like Christmas? Thank a Pagan\u2014and seem to care a lot about whether people have enough to eat and if kids have some neat stuff to play with.<\/p>\n

Seems like a nice bunch of folks we\u2019d like to hang with. You should. Come meet some of your neighbors who happen to be Pagans, learn about their practices and beliefs, and make some new friends or learn stuff about some of your old friends. There will be vendors, workshops, rituals and fun stuff. (Steve Lowery<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Another great thing:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019d like to contribute to the food drive, bring canned foods or non-perishable dry goods.<\/p>\n

Giving us a moment\u2019s pause:<\/strong> So, in a roundabout way, are Pagans responsible for \u201cChristmas Shoes?\u201d Not cool.<\/p>\n

Pagan Pride Day runs from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Rainbow Lagoon Park. Admission is free. For more information, click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
