Does anyone have the dates for Kinder this year? It is always the first weekend in October and only on Friday and Saturday....October 1st is on a Saturday this year. I am not sure if it would be the 1st or the 7th and 8th...LOL
Please post if you know I have to make hotel reservations and apply for leave asap. LOL

Oh, great!!!!! Thanks a million. I called the casino today and they were all booked up, they said the committee blocked off alot of rooms, so I don't know if that is head staff only or for visitors or what. So, Iguess it's Holiday Inn for me instead of Casino. LOL
Hope to see you all before then, but for sure we will be down that way for that pow wow. I always like going to this pow wow, the committee and tribe are always real hospitable and treat visitors really nice. We have been going there for several years. I didn't dance last year, but I went and looked on but hope to dance this year. Thanks for the info, sandy
