Major Local Events for 2011

1 Comment

Many people will soon be submitting their 2011 time off requests, and so now is a good time to look at the major events scheduled for 2011. They are not all Pagan events, but they are events for which many people in our community have expressed extreme fanatical interest.

MarsCon

March 4-6, 2011
A local science fiction convention

Paganicon

Friday, March 25 – Sunday, March 27, 2011
The Twin Cities NEW Pagan gathering. For years the Twin Cities pagan Pride celebration has been the single largest Pagan event in the Twin Cities and one of the largest Pagan pride celebrations in the nation, but it was always torn between the desire to fulfill the Pagan Pride mission and the desire to provide top-notch programming. The solution was Paganicon.

Paganicon is an opportunity to build the programming beyond the Pagan Pride model. This is the sort of programming for which the nearest options were at camping festivals. Paganicon offers excellent programming in the far more accessible location of a local Hotel.

The Twin Cities already has the greatest Pagan community in the nation, and now we have our very own convention. This could become one of the major Pagan events in the nation. Come to Paganicon this year and you’ll be able to say that you were there at the very beginning.

Minicon

April 22 – 24, 2011
A local science fiction and fantasy convention

Paganistan Weekly; Nov 29- Dec 5

Only 23 more days till Yule!

Next Sunday there a couple of very interesting hands-on activities to choose from. There is crafting at Clue Manor, which will include making a very special incense which was sampled at an event last week and was exquisite (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=106543372747216). There’s also a release party for Anne Marie Forrester’s new coloring book at the Eye of Horus, which should be colorful and fun.
