But then I helped out with a major powwow and learned a little bit about powwow budgeting, in an urban atmosphere.
The facility is the most major expense. I figure for a facility the size of the Denver Colliseum it would run at least $25-30,000 per day. Then you gotta pay extra for the security, risers, sound, chairs, tables, floor covers, poles for identifying the singer's numbers, merchandise, insurance, etc., etc.
Now I have a greater appreciation for what goes on behind the scenes.

Then when the powwows over and you're spent, it's time to clean the place, make sure everyones out of the building, have a post meeting with the committee, discuss the problems that occured and pay the bills.
NOT FUN.

Anyways,
CONGRATULATONS GRACE GILLETTE AND THE DENVER POWWOW COMMITTEE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!
