Thank you to everyone that supported our 2025 fundraiser!!!
Hail the Doers! 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 of Rebecca Drew and the performers from the Wild Vines Aerial Team—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 Connected Fungirl Wellness , 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, 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!
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.
A heartfelt thank-you as well to Julia Marie for covering our event with such care and enthusiasm in a beautiful news piece that aired on Channel 28 News. Your support helps shine a light on the vibrant and growing Pagan community here in NEPA, and we’re so grateful.
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’d also like to lift up a few more of our brilliant volunteers and Doers whose behind-the-scenes work helped bring everything to life: Karen M. Fisher, Dorothy Weigand, Jimmy Haberkern, Clark Fahringer, Eric Peisel—and yes, Shannon Saylor too, even if I’m the one writing this post and it feels weird to tag myself.

Why Support the Pagan Pride Project?
Through education, activism, charity and community, the project promotes tolerance and understanding between people with different belief systems. If you are a Pagan, the project can help you find pride and confidence in your path. If you are not a Pagan, the project can help you understand your Pagan friends, coworkers, and family members. Our area in Northeastern Pennsylvania desperately needs a Pagan Pride gathering. Let's do this together and have a blast doing it!
