PowWows.com Pow Wow

[Paul G]

We've talked about this several times. And the problem I've had making this happening is finding a location.

How many of you would be willing come to Cedar Point for the PowWows.com Pow Wow?

I've talked to them about having the event there. And it might be feasable.

The weekend would include a "Meet and Greet" time on Friday night, Pow Wow on Saturday and time to enjoy the park.

Let me know you thoughts!

For those of you that don't know, Cedar Point is the "World's Best Theme Park". It is located in Ohio.

The park has been voted best with the Golden Ticket awards the past 7+ years. It boasts 16 roller coasters!

You can see more about it here:

The reason I'm looking at an amusement park is because I won't have to pay to rent the space. And I don't have to pay for accidental insurance.

Also Ohio is more centralized than Montana or Oregon. Oklahoma would be great, but where?

And I also hope that having it at a park like Cedar Point would be a draw for people. I'm very concerned that we won't draw many people having it anywhere else.

But I'm open to suggestions.

would this be a "real" pow-wow? is so would there be head staff?

[Tradish_Mom]

Dang!!... that's way the heck out there!... too far for me..
centralize it more..
plus if it's an amusement park.. will we be there for "show?" also, do we need to pay to get in? Once there, i know my kids will not be interested in a powwow... as a matter of fact, me included,.. "wow!.. look at all the rides!!!".. lol

[Eagle Plumes]

Good point.

I can see where this can get dificult, Ohio would be fine for me but when my boys saw the cool rides there is no way id get them to dress out and I dont make them if they dont want to. But I really do like the idea of a pow-wow.

when there are powwows at amusement parks over here. we register 4 contests and enterence in to the park is included with the arm band. and so 4 the 2 days we can ride rides after the powwow or b4 or during break if its enough time to get back

That's true, but would your kids also get excited about coming to this pow wow because there would be rides?

There might be an admission price, not sure yet.

The pow wow would be open for others to watch.

Paul,

When a powwow is held in an established facility such as a theme park and is open to those who paid for admission, shouldn't the powwow participants get in free since they are part of the weekend attraction?

It's kinda like getting a band into a theme park and asking them to pay to get in. If they're temporarily part of the attraction it would only seem right that they shouldn't have to pay to perform.
