Can't wait!!! I always LOVE dancing here!!

Inquiring minds want to know...when do contest points start? The flier says Thursday afternoon but we also heard that they don't start til Friday...makes a HUGE difference in terms of leave taken, degree of suffering involved, etc...lol.

last time i went the point system started on thursday afternoon and they also had exit points, participation points, spot check points, etc. i dont know if it has changed

[Ol'Girl]

JoeG: Thanks for the help!! lol-way later

ndnMSW: Come on up Thursday and suffer with us!! It'll be fun!! My mom will be there. Bring your parentals! There's a GA (55+) mens trad special.

If you click on the link above, it shows the bare bones flyer when it first came out and it clearly states, "Dancing & Singing points will start on Thursday afternoon"

If you start @ introwinnebago tribe and goto "attractions" and find the link to the powwow flyer, it shows the latest flyer which also says the same thing and shows specials.

I'll be raising flags @ 6:00am Thursday morning with lots of us Veterans!! It's the most exciting start to a powwow ANYWHERE!!! Morning dew on the grounds...a little cold and dark...sun not up yet...all the cars pulling up to the grounds in a hurry...drum group pulling up at the LAST MINUTE (OR LATER-cos we don't wait!)...seeing ALL the people converging clutching their loved ones flags...greeting everybody THAT dang early in the morning!!! It's AWESOME!!! 143d Annual Homecoming Celebration Commemorating the return of Chief Little Priest and Company "A" Fort Omaha Scouts 34th Nebraska Volunteers of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska!! Nothing like it that I've seen!

Want to know

Inquiring minds want to know. What is the skinny (no pun intended!!!) on Southern Boys being disqualified at the W'bago Pow? Too bad drugs had to be involved i heard. Not too cool for such a highly regarded group. They need to be more discriminating when it comes to allowing anyone on their drum.
