Top 8
David Trudeau,
Quanah LaRose
Darrel Bolton
Bud Day
Jesse Osawamick
....forget,
Judges had a tough time to pick, there was dance off between David Trudeau and Quanah LaRose.

Winner---David Trudeau, Anishinaabe, Wikwemikong,

Tax Forms and Parking on Sunday

I had a great time at the PW as i do every year. But what is the main purpose of filling out tax forms, and making canadian visitors do the same. Im not sure if there are regulations, etc. But thats rediculous!! 1st place prize money was $400, not like $600. Just curious ??? Im sure im not the only one that would like to know.

Oh and parking was a pain in the _ _ _ !! Why do they close off the parking lot to the Jenison for a MSU game? No one even used it except handicap participants, from what I seen.

Not trying to start crap , but just would like to know. Its inconvenient for those who travel far and are hyped to attend, especially with this being one of the 1st pws of the year.

Anyone have the drum contest results?

[jed]

I had a good time. Was my first Michigan Pow wow. Sure was short though, I am kinda used to dancing at 2am, so being done by 10pm on Sat was kind of strange. I might be back.

[Great Lakes Islander]

Hey Jed, glad you had a good time, didn't realize you were the former mayor, if only.

I had a good time. Was my first Michigan Pow wow. Sure was short though, I am kinda used to dancing at 2am, so being done by 10pm on Sat was kind of strange. I might be back.

didn't realize you were the "former' mayor, if only I knew, wouldn't been lobbying for parking permit permit or something, lol.

yeah, one can get a bit spoiled dancing east. I remember one time,this local shawl dancer went to Alberta, she is from Ontario. We were at Siksika, and Adult go-arounds started after 11 p.m., and it was cold, three songs to boot. Good songs, good tempo...she came off the floor after being judged, crying, limping and icicles dripping from her nose.
Needlees to say, Alberta pow-wows are not on her list of fav powwows
