I wanted to thank EVERYONE that came out and dealt with the heat in their outfits. We're just getting back into contests, so sorry if things were a little mixed up (schedule-wise) on Saturday. I always try to get all you guys out early on Sunday but the Hawaiians/Polynesians slowed things down (traffic), that's why the cut on the teen and JR contests.

Thank you once again!!!!

FYI - the next 3 powwows ARE CONTESTS as well despite what you've heard.

Tabulations

I just wanted to make everyone aware that tabulations are open until 30 minutes after the powwow is over (I gotta get to cleaning up the grounds). The only thing you will not see are judges names. We try to run the fairest powwow by opening the tabulations...it is only fair and their ARE your points. There's no fee or judgement.

I understand some ppl actually take down their pts for themselves just to see how they did, even if they won.
