​Hail the Doers! Hail the Community!!

What a magical night in the Court of the Fae!

We’re still glowing from the enchantment of our masquerade ball and NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival fundraiser, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. It takes a village to create a night in our Court of Faerie, and we’re so grateful to the incredible team of volunteers and staff who poured their time, energy, and love into every detail of the evening. Your dedication made this event possible and your magick made it such memorable time. There are sooo many to tag and thanks for this.

Special thanks go to Ben Dugas of LB Entertainment for the stunning lighting and sound that transformed the space into something truly otherworldly.

To the mesmerizing performers. Rebecca Drew and the performers from the Wild Vines Aerial Team as well as Bellymance Troupe from Binghamton —thank you for weaving beauty and wonder into the night. Your performance was mesmorizing!!

We’re also deeply grateful to our amazing vendors: Woodsy Witch, Witchletoe, and Skull Couture for adding charm and creativity to our Vendor Village. We deeply appreciate you so much
Thank you to Cypress Haberkern with Bewitched Boards for the delicious and thoughtfully arranged spread of food that kept us nourished while we danced and delighted.

A very special shoutout goes to Melanie M Konnick with Mel's Bels Baubles, who took the lead on planning décor and setup—your vision and artistry helped us step into Faerie from the moment we arrived. Erin Farrell Walton, thank you as well for your beautiful contributions to the magic of the space.

And of course, thank you to Marjorie Carney, our talented photographer, for capturing the spirit of the evening in what we’ve affectionately dubbed our “Pagan Prom Photos.” We’ll be sharing some of the other images she took soon (will add them to this post). We would love to see the night through your eyes as well—please share or tag us in any photos you took!

Thank you to Dorothy Weigand as well for being our master of tickets and entry to the realm of Fae! 

We also want to offer deep gratitude to the Unburned Kindred for holding space with care and presence throughout the evening. Your support with staffing, security, and parking helped the night run smoothly and safely. It is a beautiful thing when communities come together in mutual support, and we are so thankful for the work you in these events.

Thank you to all brilliant volunteers and Doers whose behind-the-scenes work helped bring everything to life including our tear down team today. 

It was such a gift to see so many new faces and reconnect with old friends. Whether you danced, served, laughed, or simply witnessed—it was your presence that made the night so powerful. Thank you for dreaming this into being with us.

We are already planning next year, hope to see you then <3

February brings a steady rhythm of connection, planning, and seasonal practice within the Wyoming Valley CUUPS Community. This month we move through Imbolc, the Full Moon, and the (VERY) slow turning toward spring, with both online and in-person opportunities to gather.

You will find lots of rituals, collaborative meetings (open to all), social nights, and creative offerings on the calendar. Whether you are joining us virtually or in-person, there are multiple entry points to connect at a pace that works for all.

As always, all events are open and welcoming. Full details, locations, and updates are available on our website and social spaces. We look forward to sharing this month with you.
