Bismarck's the Place to Be

This weekend is a big weekend in Bismarck, not only will this guy be here...

...but, it's also the biggest garage sale weekend of the year.

The United Tribes International Pow Wow is a huge event that is held here every year. Quite the experience! I love the Women's Jingle Dances. A girl I go to school with recently brought in her dress and the dress she is making for her daughter. They were just beautiful. It just amazes me how much there is to learn about the Indian culture and it's all so interesting - to me anyway!

(And here is a video clip of the Yellowface Singers from last year's Pow Wow)

I would love to get out there and at least see the Maori Dancers, but unfortunately, I have a speech and two papers that MUST GET DONE!! I may stop at a garage sale or two - not that I need anything....but sometimes it's fun to look.
