1. Sarah - 2 stars - I attended the Grand Rapids Pagan Community Event with high expectations, but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The event felt disorganized and lacked structure. The workshops and presentations were poorly planned and didn't provide much valuable information. The vendors' area was small and overcrowded, making it difficult to navigate. Overall, I left feeling underwhelmed and frustrated, as I was hoping for a more enriching and enlightening experience.
2. Jack - 1 star - I have to say that the Grand Rapids Pagan Community Event was a major letdown. The whole event seemed more like a cash grab rather than a genuine celebration of the pagan community. The admission fee was high, and once inside, there were limited activities and limited engagement from the organizers. The lack of variety and quality in the workshops and performances left much to be desired. I felt as though I wasted my time and money on an event that fell far short of my expectations.
3. Laura - 2 stars - The Grand Rapids Pagan Community Event had potential, but it didn't deliver. The organization seemed haphazard, with last-minute changes to the schedule that caused confusion and frustration among attendees. The few workshops that were available lacked depth and were poorly facilitated. Additionally, the event lacked diversity, both in terms of presenters and vendors. It felt like a missed opportunity to bring together a vibrant pagan community and create a truly inclusive and enlightening event.
4. Mark - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Grand Rapids Pagan Community Event, but sadly, it was a disaster.
