Local Festival Updates:  We have just returned from the Paonia Mountain Harvest Festival. We feel it was a prosperous and enjoyable event.

Below is the art piece that was entered in the art competition modeled by our daughter. The name of the piece was titled, "To look more closely" and features fairies playing in the flowers.

Be sure to see us at the Witches Ball to be held October 18 at the Mesa State College in Grand Junction.

 

 

Great Gathering Updates:  We have our first helper committed to the cause.  Also, the rough date of Summer, 2011 has been set.  We want this event to be something look forward to and build towards.  We want folks of lesser means to be able to have a chance to get here.  We have picked a location in Western Colorado and will get more specific as time progresses.  Contact us for more info or to get involved.

We think that this should become a "once every five years" sort of thing.  But tell us what you think.  With a lot of hard work we can make this a experience the world will remember, in a good way, forever.

Remember, People from everywhere CAN live together, can find ways to bridge differences, can exist with dignity, strength and love.

The Great Gathering of the Free Peoples of North America

In response to the big business that is now arts and crafts festivals and in response to how seperate the people of our nation, continent and world have become, we are looking to do two things. 

One, in our own front field, start a small, local festival that good people can get into and be original without paying a wad of cash.  We expect a lot of local authoritarian opposition, which would be contrary to our rights as a free people, but is all too common in this day and age.

The second thing, we have a dream of people from every walk of life, every corner of the nation and our neighboring nations getting together to share food and music, art and craft, culture and experience. This event we have declared as The Great Gathering of the Free People of North America (other continents welcome).  All Tribes, all Faiths, all People are welcome to attend.

To this one we expect opposition on all levels of governement.  Remember, the government does not exist to help the people or protect the people; its sole purpose now is to perpetuate its own authority and existence.  It is time people remember that it is OUR goverment, conceived in Liberty.  This Great Gathering WILL NOT ask or beg for permission; it will occur because FREE People so choose it to occur.  There will not be fees or organization.  We belive that Free people can self-regulate, can be responsible and deserve their absolute self autonomy.

We understand that there are some events that claim to do this, but the message has been lost and corrupted, drugged and made too exclusive. The people who were "fighting" the establishment, now ARE the establishment. THis is NOT the Rainbow Family thing.  We welcome all those who would come with a positive Light in their hearts and respect for themselves, others and the world around us.

BRING ON THE GATHERING!!!  Look for it in Western Colorado, sometime during the Summer of 2011.  We will have more on this as time progresses.  But plan on it, it WILL happen.  Bring you and your family, friends, neighbors!  Bring your Art, Music, Food and Culture!  Bring your dignity, strength, love and FREEDOM!  We can live togheter, we can get along, we can be positive!  WE can stop destroying ourselves, others, ideas and the world!

We will update this page as things develop.  Please contact us at festival@dragonmooncrafts or festivaloffreedom@gmail.com with ideas or ways to help bring back an event in which PEOPLE matter!

With the Great Gathering coming up I decided to add a picture of our booth at the Mountain Harvest Festival.
