The third annual Goddess Festival begins tonight, March 10.
“Daring to hope for spiritual wholeness in the world, we come together to dream, to play and to create in an atmosphere of respect and acceptance for all — where the Feminine Divine can be revealed, explored and expressed. Because March is celebrated in the United States of America as Women’s History month, we believe this to be a perfect time to hold this multifaceted event. This celebration will honor the power of the Feminine Divine through art, music, words, dance, film and shared knowledge.”
The Goddess Festival: March 10-27, 637 E. Joyce Blvd., next to Cici’s and Home Depot, in Fayetteville. ALL events take place at the 637 E. Joyce location unless another contact or address is mentioned. www.goddessfestival.com.

An Icon Passes
There is little else that compares to the closeness of the community when a tragedy strikes and claims the life of a comrade. Bruce Walker, owner of Flying Possum Leather, creator of handcrafted leather sandals, guitar straps and belts, lost his life in his store early Monday morning in a blazing fire. His constant companion and dog, Bugsy, was spared and is expected to be reunited with Walker’s family. A true disciple of his trade, he was committed to creating quality items for individuals. His legacy will live on.
