Thought I would start a thread with the listings thus far:
NC School of Science and Math Pow Wow
Durham, NC
2009 Powwow: Saturday, Feb. 7
Admission: $4 / Children 5 and under: Free
Building opens to the public at 11 a.m.
Powwow begins with Grand Entry at 1 p.m.
Supper break at 5 p.m.
Second Grand Entry at 7 p.m.
Powwow Closing Song at approximately 9:45 p.m.
Personal note: There are usually several food vendors on site, and a dinner is prepared in the school cafeteria. There are quite a few vendors on site offering beads, jewelry, CDs, and many NA crafts. This is a no smoking campus. And the seating is in the gym, so bring something soft to sit on because those bleachers can get a bit uncomfortable.

I know May is a way off yet, but I hope…depending on if I meet the requirements in my last two…two classes, I will graduate NCAT in May, which means I will be in Greensboro in May.
Becky do you have a listing of the pow wows in May? I will be there the 9th for graduation and plan on spending a few days in the area.
Blessings,
Shirley
sammarrog, I can’t help you with local Pow Wows, Becky is the best for that, but I work in Greensboro and live thirteen miles away. So I thought I’d just say a big Hello!!!! Cindi
Shirley, the Clarksville pow wow normally runs the same weekend as Mother’s Day…around the 10th…but, they don’t have it listed on the website yet. I am listing some more that I have found for the weekends previous and afterward. Will keep checking the websites as people post the new year.

Hi Cindi:) I live in Minnesota, but my college is NCAT. My father’s family was lived along the Piedmont…til about 1800…I think I was called back to the area:) (I didn’t know my father’s family historyprior to starting NCAT). Are you related to Bee, I notice the same surnames…:)
Blessings,
Shirley

Yes Bee and I are cousins. Her great grandmother and my grandfather were brother and sister. Mattie Bowling Foley and George F. Bouldin, Jr. The family started changing the way they spelled the Bowlin. Bee lives about one hour from me near Winston Salem. Glad you are coming to the area. Cindi
