trying to find a place to stay! is there a powwow rate at the casino hotel?

There are no rooms left at the casino..

[Kiwehnzii]

Good powwow. The computer scanners worked good. But.... one of the scanner operators missed a young dancers number. She was right up front with the princesses and the smallest one. There was absolutely no doubt that she was in every grand entry as she was announced by the M.C.

Anyways, the mistake was corrected and she was awarded third in the girls (6-12) fancy.

She didn't get to hear her name announced as a winner, but she was quite happy, nonetheless. Congrats to Adalia Plain.

******there's been alot of talk about why the jr's only got one round of contest. well....USUALLY they only get one round. we were going to do an exhibition for them on sunday, but we didn't due to the weather. we were just playing it by ear and trying to get the dancers home as soon as possible.

[buckskin pantyhose]

Great Powwow!!! I had a lot of fun & would definitely go back next year...only this time i'll be sure to get a room at the casino & bring my canopy cuz it was HOT!
The bar code # system was pretty damn cool...hadn't seen that before, very high tech. I didn't have my shawl w/me during the spot check intertribal, i kinda felt bad, but it made me dance harder cuz i knew i missed those points.

I was happy to see a lot of people i hadn't seen in awhile. Congrats to all the winners!! Everyone was gettin down...Ponchie & Karen were tearin' up the carpet in Golden Age, what an awesome sight!
I was especially HAPPY they gave us a double beat for our 2nd song on sunday...i think we need more of those in Northern Tradish ;)

Anyway....Congrats once again to all the Winners!!! See you guys down the road

[seneca*one]

buckskin...you TORE UP double beat! we knew that if we gave that for a second song you would!!
but yeah...the word is...next year the powwow won't be at the casino. it'll hafta be on our REZ, which is like 45 mins away. same prize money tho.....we'll get back to everyone with details. it'll hafta be a total camping pow wow next year!
