We hope to have a great turn out this weekend. Everything is falling into place. We are keeping a check on the weather. If (and I pray that it is a BIG if) it rains, we do have a rain location. We will move to the Indian Education Resource Center next to the University. We will have out plenty of signs!

We look forward to a great dance with an awesome head staff.

There will also be a Men's Traditional Special (18 & Up) sponsored by Mardella Sunshine Costanzo (Powwow Chairperson) in honor of Jerry "Big Jerry" Locklear. It will be a winner take all. The prize will be a Pendleton Blanket.

Come out and join us !

Only a few days away - who all is coming???

I am so proud of the kids and their advisors at UNCP - I know, for a fact, that they are creating such an incredible atmosphere there for their pow-wow...Sunshine, my baby, she rocks so hard!!!! There is no stopping that woman - driven is not the word!!!!

It is always important for all of us to support our college kids and their endeavors - how many of our folks were not able to go to college, for one reason or another?? The fact that these young adults have that opportunity, PLUS work hard to honor and preserve their culture is breathtaking....

So again - who all is coming???>>

[Smokin' Ace]

You will come to UNCP - you will come to UNCP - I know 3rdNDN bear and Petey are coming, and of course Patrick and Qua - who else??? -Santa will be there as MC - Stoney Creek - who else????

[nll002]
