Meherrin Indian Pow-wow - October 22-24, 2004

[Lapis Queen]

Sorry it took me so long. I spent the day resting and doing things that I needed to do around here. Thank you to all that attended and to all that felt that it was a great powwow. I have to give a big thank you to my family for all their help. A big thank you to my wonderful husband. He composed a song in my honor and gave me a new regalia. Made me cry! :Blush

I thought things went really well. Wished it hadn't rained on Sunday, but can't control those things. It's a big load off to have it over. I was very pleased by the attendance. Great dancers and awesome drums.

If you are wondering about the ties....we had to call the powwow on Sunday and no one wanted to do dance offs b/c of the wet conditions. Therefore, they split the money evenly for those places. I hope everyone had a good time.

Glad you had a good dance.

Is everyone in the Meherrin Tribe named Richardson? LOL :)

[JingleJammer]

sounds like it was a good powwow. was amy tall cheif there with vincent kent?? i haven't seen her ALL summer, would have been nice to have seen and visited with her. Congrats to all the winners!

It def sounds like you had a good turnout.

Yeah, Singerdad it sounds like that doesn't it but actually the Richardson's are Haliwa-Saponi, there are just a few that are Meherrin (where a Meherrin married a Haliwa).

Glad everyone had a great time - hope to see all in Richmond!

Congrats to you Kristey for a job well done. For this being your first time organizing a p/w, you did an outstanding job and I give you 5 out of 5 stars.

I, also, want to thank y'all for having me as your MC. I had a great time. I just wish that it had not rained on Sunday but we can't control the weather. I just hope that everyone was pleased, or at least somewhat pleased, w/ the job that I did. Also, thanks to everyone that gave me words of encouragement this past weekend. Thanks again to everyone and congrats to all the winners.

Hope to see y'all in Richmond.

Thanks everyone. I thought everything went well and yes I was very pleased at the turn out. Amy was not there with Vincent.

Ace...just ignore Jason, he was being perverted resposnding to your question about Who came? His mind is always in the gutter and he will play on any question like that.

Hey Kristey, are you going to come to Richmond so we can see this new outfit??? What does it look like???? I am sure it is beautiful!

[Lapis Queen]

Will not be able to go to Richmond due to finances. I need to do some beadwork for it and I probably won't dance it until next year. I also need mocs for it. Totally different color scheme than what I have so I need to do new stuff for it. Yes it is very beautiful and I was very happy and surprised.

[NDNQt]

I bet! I totally understand about finances - I will see ya on the trail somewhere~
