What I hear

I spoke with my nephew who was at the pow-wow in LCO last weekend and he spoke some of the singers of the drums that were there, and he made it sound like most of them are heading down to KS. If that is the case, there is going to be some good music this weekend.

(TBZ, Pipestone, Battle River, Little Eagle, and Little Otter. Include the hosts)

I also think Southern Boyz are going to be there too.

I am there!

powwow committee booth and say hello, we will have some WWW.powwows.com

Moved to Topeka

We moved to pow wow to Kansas Expocentre in Topeka

Grand Entry at 500 pm Saturday
Grand Entry at 100pm Sunday

We got some dancing in last night due to the rain and mud we
closed down at 930 just in time before the down pour.

We couldnt park in our field where we usually park this
caused a lot of traffic problems.

Today will be a better day we dont get more than we can handle.
