KALEIDOSCOPE GATHERING |
|
Wednesday July 30 - Monday August 04, 2008 Fairies and Elves and Gnomes! Oh my! is our theme this year. We will once again be holding fest at Whispering Pines a private campground that is being closed for our use. This amazing site has a great beach, in ground pool, drive up campsites that are level and rock free. There is no bathing in the lake but there are two showers. We must respect the wishes of the owners of the campground as they live onsite. Admittance to the site is on Wednesday (if you come earlier, then be sure to register at the Whispering Pines office) and remember to register for the Kaleidoscope Gathering at our registration tent. Also, there are no pets, except seeing eye dogs. New this year... Cocktail Party: We are going to replace our traditional Potluck with a Cocktail Party. The potluck meet and greet has been fun but our festival has grown to a point that it is becoming a little unmanageable to have a potluck. Instead, wear your finest Pagan Cocktail attire and join us on Friday evening for cocktails and meet and greet friends new and old. Please BYOC (bring your own cocktail). Fairy Houses: As we will be calling so many of the wee folk to us this year, we are encouraging everyone to create a Fairy Home in their campsite. This will help keep them happy while they are celebrating with us this week. Announcement: Friday August 1st is Leather Bra Day! Wera your favourite leather bra or loincloth. Torches: Light up the site with Fairy Sight. We are going to hold a draw this year for free admission to Kaleidoscope 2009. To enter bring a metal tiki torch as a donation to the festival and you will be entered into a draw to win. Greetings, Welcome the 19th anniversary of the
Kaleidoscope Gathering, the largest Pagan Festival in It amazes me year after year how dedicated the
staff is to the festival and how the community comes together. We have a
tremendous line of lectures, workshops and concerts this year. I am very
grateful to those who come each year and share their wisdom and I am equally
impressed by those who share their knowledge for the first time. The theme
each year inspires someone to realize that they have something to contribute
to our community. If you would like to
contribute a workshop please send an outline to austin.lawrence@rogers.com. Hurry!
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 20, 2008. If you have any questions, concerns or kudos, you can speak with either myself or one of the staff members and if we cannot answer you question immediately, we will find an answer for you. Have a wonderful time, sing a song and
remember, take your garbage home! |
