Greetings, North Texans! It’s marvelous cool, sunny weather in Texas this time of year--and we all know that doesn't last. So I hope you will get out and see some wildflowers, pet a dog, eat a big plate of boiled crawfish…whatever makes you feel happy and alive.
Here’s my monthly roundup of local happenings in and around DFW. As usual, I try to keep it at least vaguely Pagan-focused, but there’s a lot of fun and delicious events coming up in the next few weeks that didn’t make the list. (Crawfish!)
Spirit Haven’s Beltane festival is just a couple weeks away and your Area Reps are excited to catch up with you or meet you for the first time. Please join us at Saturday’s North Texas Area Meeting if you’re so inclined.
Happy Spring and see you soon,
Michelle Gruben
