[rachelg196]

I use to go when i was a princess. It was fun...i think i went to a couple then

[Kiwehnzii]

I do. Not all the time, but I go once in a while.

[KeetersCAT]

Yes! It's a nice change of pace. The big plus is there's no crybabies at tradish pow-wows!

[ojibwaywmn]

I would go if they had more of them in my area.

I do. People aren't so uptight as they are at a competition powwow. They don't feel as threatened.

I like non contest pow-wows, especially during the off season, they are fun to just go and chill at.
