Yes, there’s just something about being on the outer banks along with the great spirit that you feel on those grounds…and such gracious hosts. Not to mention sharing it with our family…..
Oh, yeah, so very true. Beyond any words I could think of.
btw, photo 153 in that link has a nice view of Becky’s new shawl. Has a very soothing look about it, doncha think?
Thanks, my dear….that’s a quilt that my great grandmother made for the first born (my brother) so I decided to put it in the circle.
Aho
Becky
May be one day I can get the quilt skirt ready….LOL.
Well, the pow wow at Clarksville (OSP) was a good one. There were more vendors than I expected, so Mother’s Day shopping was pretty easy. Was disappointed that there was only one food vendor which made for long lines at meal time, but, hopefully next year there will be more. It was hot, but, the breeze late in the afternoon was certainly welcome. The dancing was good with so many of our webmembers present. It was hard to leave and go home….wanting to extend that time with precious family.

Would love to attend this one since I have ancestor that came from that area, but, our van will be in the shop once again. May be next year. Are you going to Chesapeake?
Thanks to Beeleaf, we now have the information for the 2nd Pow Wow in Stuart, VA.
Oct. 2-4, 2009 at the Rotary Field, which is the same place it was held last year.
Here’s the link to the flyer.

I won’t be making the one in Chesapeake;it’s a little far.
I’m planning to go to the Monacan and to the Shenandoah Valley in June.
Roca
We have been asked about going to Shenandoah….not sure yet, depends on economics. And it is quite a drive into the mountains for us. Chesapeake is about 4 hrs. as well….what about Bland or Stuart? Have you given consideration to attending them? They are pretty good pow wows.
Aho
Becky
I don’t think the date is listed on our local site which is:
http://www.virginiapowwows.com
but,500nations.com had it as the last weekend in June.(Think that’s the right
url.)
Bland and Stuart are very far,I think they take almost a day of driving for me,to and back.
Roca
I’m currently planning on attending the wolf creek powwow in Stuart. My grandpa’s place is right nearbye, so I can visit kin and dance at the same time.
Takes me about 3 days of driving/flying to get to Stuart from here. Just 2 or 3 thousand miles, which is why I only get out east once every few years or so.
I hope to see as many of you as I can.
