We would like to thank all those who helped, sponsored, or participated in the

Fourteenth Annual Gathering of the People Powwow on September 25, 26, 27, 2009

On September 25, we held the fifth Powwow Education Day field trip for over 300 third grade students from Vigo, Parke, and Vermillion counties. This was a wonderful cultural learning event, the children really enjoyed the hands on experiences and learning about the dances and lifestyles of Native Americans. We would like to thank all those who helped make this a day to remember for these children. (We have several openings and are currently taking reservations for third grade classes for the 2010 Education Day on September 25, please call 812-230-8898 for requests)

We would like to thank all of our program sponsors, Woodburn Graphics and the Terre Haute Convention and Visitors Bureau for their support and assistance.

Special thanks go to all the members of the Vigo County Conservation Club who pitched in and helped in many ways to have a successful Powwow. Also our thanks to the club members for providing delicious meals, as always.

We are looking forward the 15th annual Gathering of the People Powwow on September 24, 25 & 26, 20. If there are any questions regarding the upcoming powwow please contact us Powwow@vccc.info or call 812-230-4872.
