The staff would like to thank the kind folks who took a few minutes
of their day to tell us about their experiences.
See you in May!

*The PUF was of the awesome-ness! Next year, but if not, we will be there with bells on! Sterling
*I just wanted to say how much the weekend I just spent with all of you has meant to me. I have not felt this good since I was home from Iraq on R&R over a year ago. All of you have helped this humble soldier to recharge and get regrounded before another difficult deployment.
I will be working with Mari and Father Dave to get my articles on PUF done for publication asap. I have been to many Pagan festivals around the country and this is the first one I have EVER attended that was so drama free.
To all of you who have told me your wishes for support and thanked me for my service, you have made my heart joyful, awed, and humbled. I will post here as often as I can while deployed to keep you informed as to how I am doing and such. I can be reached here on yahoo for now at arthuroftheoaks.
'TIl we next speak,
In love and service,

*Thanks sooo much! Shannon
*Ok, I think I am back to normal which may not be a good think....lol I think the kids had an amaizing time and would love to come back next year. Kelly and I are already thinking of things we need to bring for next year with our husbands hopefully in toe. The food was fabulous. The Ritual Saturday was revitalizing. The only thing I didn't do was get info on trying to reach people. I met so many and didn't even get a way to get ahold of them via the internet. Also, I am really into astrology and Kitti was awesome. I could go on and on! Huggs to all our new friends!!!
*I want to take this opportunity to say that PUF was Fantastic! We enjoyed and were blessed by our weekend at PUF. The people rocked, the workshops were informative and it was a delight. Blessings and again thank you all for a wonderful weekend. Hope to see you all next year. Mari
Merry Meet All ! Tish I want to thank you for all you and your staff do putting togeather P.U.F. I had a great time. I met soul friends from the past Female and Male. I learned so much. I called my sister and told her about it she said I sounded like a kid at Yule. This was my first year at P.U.F I loved it. I made New Friends. I found Me again and I haven't seen me in a lot of years. I tapped into more things I can do and see. there was a tree by my cabin and I called it Elsy, there was the shape of a cow's head sticking out on the side.My Husband is in Summer Land but I know He's Happy I was with you all.
Blessed Be
Bobbie
*Those were awesome Tamales! BB Mede
*Thank you to Tish and her staff for the hard work you all put into puf, so that we could have such a wonderful 3 days. Love, Selicka
* Hey. I heard the video's taken during PUF 2008 of the guest speaker's were going to be for sale or up to view somewhere. Is this true? There's a couple I'd love to buy if so. Thank you! :-) Rebecca
*Jack and I really enjoyed PUF. I think the workshops were better than ever, with a more diverse selection. I liked that Buddhist teacher. It's been a long time since I've been to a lecture on Buddhism. That was one amusing experience ... I showed up for the amulet workshop, all excited and expecting to see a table with lots of "goodies" and examples of Pagan arts'n'crafts. I got there only to see an empty table with three burly Asatru's hanging around, smoking cigarettes. It turned my reality grid cogs backwards for a few seconds. :-D
Btw, I hope the film crew hasn't committed suicide over trying to edit Jack and my workshop, particularly the part where I did my presentation. I was all over the place, jumping up and down to set up the Vodou altar, moving around, even pushed the mic out of my face a couple times (well, Ron was having fun trying to psyche me out ... I made the mistake of initially asking him to hold it). I have a feeling they won't be able to use my part of the presentation. LOL! Jack and I can't wait to see the films!! How much will they cost? Take care, Lesley
