On September 8, 2005 The Colorado Springs Gazette reported, "This small eastern plains town is simmering with religious tension after a pagan group rented out the American Legion Hall for a festival on Halloween weekend. A Baptist minister tried to rally the town board to stop the gathering, and one woman is circulating a petition demanding that the festival be stopped. Other residents call the situation a witch hunt targeting those with different beliefs and are sarcastically referring to their town as Salem... Last month, the Secret Garden Coven decided to hold a fall festival as a fund-raiser for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Organizer Jerusha Doucette-Johnson said she paid a deposit Aug. 19 on the building. Then she distributed fliers in Calhan, Simla, Ramah and other towns advertising the festival, which will include a ball, craft show and midnight ritual. The coven of about 10 is primarily from the Calhan and Simla area."
