What an Awesome Pow Wow!

It rained Saturday, however, Sunday was packed in like sardines. This was a very powerful pow wow for me and many others. It gets bigger and stronger every year. I will be adding a guest map to the Thundering Spirit Web Site, so people can share their thoughts. I have added some pictures to my photo albums.

Next pow wow is in Tennessee ~ Veterans Honor Society Pow Wow
