Earth Jam Tabling

Posted in Vending, tagged beltane, Earth Jame Festival 2011, Liberty Park, May Day on May 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This past April 30 UUPS had a great opportunity to table at the 2011 Earth Jam Festival held in Salt Lake City’s Liberty Park.

Earth Jam is a non-profit organization that raises awareness of environmental issues with a free festival and free concerts.

The weather was not favorable on this morning, with upwards of eight inches of snow in the valley. The sun did come out later to shine its face and warm up the participants and vendors.

“The weather was awful, cold, snowy and some wind. Despite that, we did have about fifteen people sign up to receive our newsletter and many people stopped by for information and pamphlets” said President Daniel Cureton.

Preisdent Cureton even secured a five minute speaking spot between stage changes of the bands to talk about the group. He commented, “I spoke for a few minutes, but no one was really listening. The problem really was that no one was there because of the weather! A few lolly gaggers, but they all left once I got to the mic.”

Sorry President Cureton! Hopefully next years Earth Jam will have Gaia treating the crowds with a more tender fist!

Beltane 2010 with USUPA

We love traveling, especially when its to Logan to see our Pagan brothers and sisters at Utah State University. The Pagan Alliance at USU is a bright and active group we call our sister group. UUPS has been building inter-group mingling with USUPA since April 2010. UUPS drove up, after getting lost, on Saturday, May 1, 2010 to Logan UT. Most of UUPS members found the location in Logan Canyon and were able to attend a wonderful Celtic Reconstruction Wedding festival put on by USUPA’s own president Kassie Cressall. A large circle of stones, a beautiful altar, music, singing, fires and more were all on the agenda this day. After wards was a lovely feast and a large May Day Pole! All of us were able to dance around the poll honoring the God and Goddess on their day of union.
