15th Annual Gathering of the People Powwow
September 24, 25, 26, 2010
The Vigo County
Conservation Club is hosting the 15th Annual Gathering of the People Powwow. We
are proud to sponsor this event and believe keeping this Native American cultural activity in Western Indiana is a worthy
and exciting endeavor.
We invite
you as a vendor to participate in the 15th Annual Gathering of the People Powwow.
It will be a very exciting weekend. If you have participated in the past,
we hope to see you back, if this is a first time for you WELCOME.
Through our
successful past powwows, and because we know we need all the help we can get in the present economy, we have dropped the price
for a vendor spot to $100 for this year. Also, we have made many innovative changes,
including installing electric lights around the circle making it possible for evening dancing and allowing the traders to
stay open later, as well as having a fence installed on the perimeter for added security.
Once
again, we are having a three-day event, dedicating the first day, September 24, 2010 to field trips for third grader
school children until 2:00 pm, then opening to the public to visit for awhile. Our
past education days have been a great success with fantastic comments from the children, teachers, and parents. We believe the Native American education day gives the children unique hands on opportunity to learn about
the Native heritage and the woodland people who lived in this area, more than they could ever learn from a book. We will have several areas of native interest, and hope you would help us with these if possible. These areas are:
- Circle, Dancing, Drums & Music, Regalia, & clothing
- Woodland Lodges, Lifestyles, (i.e.: hunting, gathering, growing,
baskets, hides, tools, etc.) Tomahawk throwing by Steve Witt, storytelling
- Traders booths, learning about crafts and how they are made
We
will have our friendship potluck dinners on Thursday and Friday nights. In addition,
we will have our special appreciation Thanksgiving meal Saturday night, all at no charge to you. We also plan to offer a big delicious breakfast on Saturday and Sunday for a small charge. If you happen to be in the area for another powwow or for some other reason, we will allow you to come
and camp the week before the powwow for a slight fee (call for details).
We hope you will consider being a vendor and participant
in our special 15th Annual Gathering of the People Powwow. If you have questions,
or for more information, you can visit our web site at www.vccc.info
or
