A Good Time....

My good bud and I drove down from Raleigh through the rain and hail just to pow wow with these good folk. I think we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Both Southern Suns and Stoney Creek sounded awesome. I think we have something to aspire towards. Ray was awesome as ever behind the microphone and I think Becky and Sharon deserves recognition for all their hard work with the pow wow. Bobby & Jennifer....keep on dancing!

Hey Kay, are you gonna post any of those pictures?

Yes, I will and I too want to commend Becky, Val and Sunshine for spearheading this first ever Unity Spring Pow-wow - I thought it went awesome...

I would like to thank everyone that came and supported this powwow. It's been a long couple of months, but it all paid off. Everyone I have spoken to seemed to enjoy themselves and I think everyone left with a good feeling, and that's what it's all about.

I would especially like to thank everyone for working so well with us considering all the madness of setting up and getting started. I do not even know all the people that were there helping to set up the arena and helping the vendors, but to all of you that were there thank you. That's the quickest I have ever seen an arena and vendors set up and be ready for business.

To all the head staff, you all did an outstanding job. And to the folks outside in the food booth...you are definitely my heros.

Thank you again to all those that gave even a few minutes of your time to help us. It was greatly appreciated.

Are we looking to do this again next year about the same time? I know its probably temporary...but, any information I can get I'll go ahead and put it on my calendar.

This powwow had a great feeling to it and I hope that this is the beginning of many spring powwows at UNCP. The committee done a great job and the staff was awesome, much love to all of you.

[MsLum91]

This is something that we are definitely planning for next year. Probably about the same time. We've already started talking about what needs to be done. Hopefully Mother Nature will work with us next year and we will be able to hold it outside like we planned.
