Local pagan groups invite the public to join them in their second annual Pagan Pride Day celebration, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. next Saturday, Aug. 15, in Monroe Park, 3000 S. Monroe Blvd. in Ogden.

The free event is designed to educate the public as well as bring different pagan groups together.

"We want people to understand us and to know us and to be our friend," said Heather Couturier, of Ogden, a coordinator for the event.

Event media supervisor Karen DePolito said the event offers a chance to bridge understanding between pagans and nonpagans and between members of different pagan sects with differing beliefs.
