The Council of Magickal Arts (CMA)holds two festivals a year - Samhain and Beltane. Please visit their site and read all of their information before you decide to go. You must send in your registration form before October 1st, 2007. Admission is $75 for the weekend. You will be camping so be prepared to bring a tent and rough it. You are required to volunteer for at least two hours during the weekend. Unfortunately, most of the officers have other obligations this weekend and will not be able to attend. We will be going to the Beltane Festival in April 2008. Please let me know if you plan to attend even though you will be on your own for this one.
SPA's Samhain Festival
When: Saturday, November 3, 2007; 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Where: TBA
We will hold our own Samhain Festival as we have every year since before I was a member. Hopefully, we won't have a drunk girl crash into an electrical pole and light all the trees on fire this year. We may be camping out if we can find a decent location. If you are interested, please attend our October 30th meeting when we will discuss the details of this event.
SPA Ghost Hunt
When: Friday, November 16, 2007; 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Where: Meet at the Pitt
We try to do this every year, but last year there just wasn't enough interest in it. This is more of a social event that ends in a trip to IHOP or Denny's. We prowl around various haunted locations in town with cameras and tape recorders. Then, we post all our pictures and recordings online for the public to see. Although our 2005 Ghost Hunt resulted in some really neat pictures, we haven't experienced any supernatural encounters.
