Record Attendance at Twin Cities Pagan Pride Leaves Stomachs Rumbling
Minneapolis, MN
Well, it was a beautiful late summer day at one of the great local beauty spots, so there were plenty of non-pagans at Minnehaha Falls regional park yesterday, too.
Even so, pagans turned out in such numbers for the 17th annual Twin Cities Pagan Pride celebration on Saturday, September 8, that the only food vendor in attendance had run out of food by mid-afternoon, leaving behind plenty of hungry pagans.
Numerous merchants reported record sales.
Reportedly, Pagan Pride organizers had originally contacted a second food vendor, who had declined to participate on the grounds that such an event would not generate a large enough turn-out to be financially worthwhile.
Moral: Pagans turn out. Pagans like to eat. Pagans spend money.
Silly cowans.

Saturday I went to the 60th annual Armenian Festival. Armenian refugees wanted a church of their own and raised the money to build one through bake sales. 60 years ago they started the festival to commemorate those efforts. Although the church only has about 400 members they regularly host about 5000 visitors to the festival. Festivals have a tendency to grow over the years. If the vendors aren't going to show up with their food trucks then it is up to the pagan community to come up with their own locally sourced food stalls. Good luck, and good eating.
