This WAS an awesome powwow...got all the dancing you could want! Lol. I had no complaints...it felt great to dance that much at a one-day powwow. Got to hear some great singing, even some good blues during supper break...my 2-year old was entertaining all of us in the corner, dancing to Cecil Gray and Terry....lol. Got to see alot of my good, good friends and family.

I know DJ Yarholer and Peanut Roberts both placed in men's grass, and Thorpe Sine got 2nd in men's fancy. Can't remember the names of the men that placed in men's traditional besides BJ, but I know what they look like...lol.

Henry Hunter got 4th in the straight dance special, and Alva was wearing her grandma Alta Swiftbird's top....she looked beautiful in it.
