A little note from one of our co-directors

Good day to our wonderful community! Before rushing in and updating this website for 2011 (because we all need a much needed rest after such a wonderful festival) I wanted to post just a portion of the feedback we are getting from the attendees, vendors and headliners on Michigan Pagan Fest 2010! There have also been many wonderful and helpful suggestions (you know who you are and we thank you) and we will be applying them to our next festival on Memorial weekend 2011!

Please take a moment to absorb the heartfelt appreciations we received.

Much Love and Light . . . Diane

Thank you for making a great fantastic brilliant awesome weekend for many pagans in Michigan. We loved it all and will definitely be back next year. We are going to spread the word on how cool it was and hopefully will get even more people there next year. You did a fantastic job!

Hugs, Deb

We had a marvelous time!  Great community people. The weather could have been better but it was all good. 

Raven and I are happy to have been at the first one and hope that we were a successful draw.  I know it wasn't a money maker but it certainty had to be a great building block.

Love and hugs-
Stephanie

I had a blast and very grateful you did the event. I still can't get over that panel discussion, that was great.

Dear One,

I'm really writing to say again how much we enjoyed your event.
It was well planned, evidenced by the organization visible both Saturday and Sunday.
It was well run, evidenced by the fact that your people all seemed to know what they were doing.

It was good to spend bits of time with Roger - that's all one ever gets, anyway!

We met new and potentially helpful people, we enjoyed the luxurious hotel,
we found watching you at work enlightening - in short, it was grand!

Hopefully we will see you in FL. in Nov.

Elspeth, for the two of us

:) Yes, and if I can help by inviting folks who would be interested next year, I would be happy to help.

It was a great event and I really enjoyed meeting all of the guests, and really everyone who came was fun and friendly. Thanks for including me.

I just wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful time at the Michigan Pagan Fest.  For a first time festival, what I saw was astounding and outstanding.  Your festival rates up there with others that have been in operation for decades.  Your staff remained friendly, courteous and warm even though they may have been harried, tired and cold.  I know the cold weather may have kept a few people away, but I got to believe that those who braved the cold will want to come again next year.  Diane, please pass this on to others who labored tirelessly making it all come together.  You guys were great!

Michigan's festival was awesome. Spiral Dance rocked the place! Enjoyed spending time with their drummer - a kindred spirit. His son is also a drummer. So was my father, who was, in part, the reason I drum. Good times, mate!

Things were simply outstanding:

The couple who ran the food stand -- shining stars! They were friendly (even let me warm up inside once when I thought I was going to crack).

The volunteers -- they were wonderful and extremely helpful!

The Headliners -- I'm only upset we can't get them every year! GREAT selections and thank you so much for them!

The location - PERFECT! Loved the outdoors, proximity to everything.

The attendees - WOW, we have such a fabulous community!

Love you,

Moira

P.S. Yes you can use the feedback. I have been talking about it nonstop since last weekend! I have felt so honored to have met so many fabulous people -- really, it has been like a "coming home" for me, discovering my community!

Randy - I had a great time!!!! Let's do it again next year...when it's WARM!!!!! LOL!

Adrian - totally looking forward to next year!

Áine ... is just home from a fantastic Pagan Fest ! The Reverend and I had a *wonderful* time!

The wonderful people putting on this ritual invite you to come and be warmed by the Beltane fires to be blessed this season and the rest of the sacred wheel with love.
