The Tulalup Veterans Powwow had up to 28 drums this year, the most ever. It is a long established powwow that draws dancers and drums from as far away as Yakama, Spokane and beyond. I was not at the powwow the entire time, so I didn't get the contest results. Anybody?

i was there but i didnt write them down... i know who took women's fancy/jingle...
3rd- Vanessa Campobasso
2nd- Bridget Eaglespeaker
1st- Thea McCloud


now ok... whats up with the combining in womans?? if that doesnt just chap my hide? they dont always combine us? i have danced there all by myself more than once! it didnt seem like it was a money issue cause they even had that push dance special that the committee sponsered...
and no fancy dancers even placed in women's... not that i think one is supposed to, but ya know... oh wells... just had to vent... sighhhh
