I want to thank everyone that came out and supported the 3rd Annual Central Arkansas Pagan Pride
day.
We raised a fair amount of money for the Hurricane Relief Efforts. Thanks to all those that brought
all the canned goods, Green Ring Relief and Soul Food Ministries are very grateful for all the
help.
Special thanks to Midnight Flame for the awesome Belly Dancing. You three are a hit!
Special thanks to Ted for bringing out the drums and the drum circle. You guys did a great job!
The day was pleasant and getting to see everyone made the day even more wonderful.
I hope to see everyone in 2006.

This was such a great day with wonderful energy and such great people. It is so nice to be at a
Pagan event without the negativity!!! Getting to see Pagan friends from Batesville, Hot Springs, Russellville,
Fayetteville, Jonesborough, Monticello, Memphis and all points in between. (Even coming from
Michigan to see us - WOW!) This was a day of enjoying old friends as well as making several new
friends, what a great blessing!

This was my second (out of three, total) PPD's at Burns Park. I had a wonderful time, loved the
variety of vendors, enjoyed the workshops, and I applaud the entertainment. The bathroom could have
been more convenient. The closing circle was very intimate and the ritual was simple yet powerful.
I would encourage anyone who is considering attending a public event such as this to do so. Thanx
to all who worked so hard to make this year’s CAPPD a success.

I really enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones. I enjoyed the workshops that I got to
attend. I do wish that the bathrooms were closer too but other than that the location was great. I
really enjoyed watching the belly dancing demonstration.

This was a wonderful, informative event full of kind warm-hearted people.
The lecturers went the extra mile to present interesting talks. The Belly-Dancers were
fantastic...made me green with envy!! The vendors had many wonderful items to sell.
This was a perfect meeting of minds and spirits! We are looking forward to attending many more.

Greetings All!
I wish to thank all of you for providing such a wonderful event. Although all of the activities were
incredibly uplifting and thought provoking I must say that the trance lecture hosted by Al was
incredible! Having been a devote student in the possibilities of a reptilian presence among us, I
was truly amazed at the events that unfolded before my eyes. Mr. Collier thank you for sharing your
incredible gifts and talents with all of us in attendance. Please reconsider your decision to
retire. You have so much more to offer us.

I would like to thank everyone who came out to this years Central Arkansas Pagan Pride day
celebration. I know with gas prices like they are it makes it difficult to get out like we would
like to but it was nice to see so many new faces from all around the state. I too enjoyed the belly
dancers performance and would like to see them again next year. I was surprised at the turnout Uni
informed me it was a new record for the Central Arkansas PPD, What an accomplishment for pagans in
Central Arkansas. I was all to happy to talk to as many people as I did and see such good will and
fellowship among fellow pagans. We are already planning next year's Central Arkansas Pagan Pride Day
and hope to see everyone once again. I hope everyone had a safe trip back home and I would like to
wish everyone a happy Mabon.

Well This makes my third Central Arkansas Pagan Pride Day. It is great to see new faces each year.
It is also great to see the familiar faces. Burns Park is a beautiful place but I have to agree that
the bathrooms are too far away from the location of the event.
Uni, Silver Crow, once again you pulled off a great event. Let's hope both PPD's continue to
flourish and grow from here.

This was a wonderful gathering, with a wonderful purpose. If I had to make any constructive
criticism, it would be to use bigger signs and a little earlier. I heard several people mention
having difficulty finding the spot before 8:30. But nothing about the event itself should be
changed. It was a perfect fall day with wonderful old friends, and many new ones.
The event was entertaining, educational, and great fun to shop. I would encourage all Pagan vendors
to put the date on their calendar now for next year. I prefer supporting those of like mind when I
start shopping. And there were many wonderful things to buy!
Thank you all,
Brightest Blessings,

We were very happy to see the numbers of people that showed up and hope the numbers ever grow.
There were many wonderful, positive people from such a wide variety of destinations. We hope they
can all return again and again.
The venders were very nice. The entertainment was great. The lectures were outstanding.
We want to give a Big Special THANKS to Uni and Silver Crow without whom this event would never
have happened.
We am sure looking forward to next year and hope that it will be even better, and maybe little
more advertised.
Blessings, Love and Healing Light to All!!!

This had to be one of the worst attended and organized PPD's I have ever attended. Please take a hint
from other groups and get some better vendors and workshops.
