i got the info from http://rockyboy.org/Powwow.

[kenna]

I also heard that there was going to be a southern special too. I am not too sure if it is for mens or womens. But, I will get more info on that and post as soon as i find out.

[kenna]

Ok just seen the poster/flyer for the powwow and theres no specials listed from the rocky boy community, so....heres some:

Teen and Womens southern buckskin/cloth special in Honor of Chenaya Standing Rock sponsored by her family

Mens Southern Straight in 18+ in honor of Douglas Standing Rock and Mike Mithlo, Sponsored by their family

$3000 Mens Prairie Chicken Dance Special in honor of Gordon Whitford, sponsored by Whitford Family

Not too sure but I heard that points start Thursday...

[jed]

That is the question.

Do points start on Thursday?

[kenna]

One of the events committee memebers confirmed that points did start on Thursday. Hopefully they will change it, because the youth powwow usually happens on Thursday.

I see that there's Head Singing judges but does anyone know if there's a Singing Contest? It's not on the poster so if anyone knows holla back>>>

Yes there is ONE committee singing contest and 2 head singing judges, the poster reads:
1st 8000
2nd 6000
3rd 4000
4th 2000

As I mentioned before, there is also the Memorial Singing Contest for Chief StandingRock. If it is allowed by the Powwow committee, I'm pretty sure the memorial contest will be judged same time as the Powwow committee singing contest, with a different set of judges, you know just to save time. I hope theres plenty of drums that show up for both singing contests!
