May 12-13 23rd Annual Cherokee Co Indian Festival, 1200 Marietta Hwy, Canton, GA. Contest powwow. We have so many specialty acts so we are going to have selected competition categories instead of all the usual categories, etc. We will be hosting an Iron Man & Women's Fancy including Grass, Chicken, Jingle, but in both men’s and women's. There will also be an Iron Kid competition. Most likely we are going to have a Golden Age for men and women which will be all inclusive like a People's Choice for our dancers 55 and up. This allows us to fit everyone into the schedule, feed our dancers and assure a high energy showcase in conjunction with traditional powwow elements. We will be posting categories, monies, etc, on our website within the next few weeks as we are still seeking sponsors. There will be plenty of intertribals as well but we are stressing to newcomers and enthusiasts that this is not a hobbyist powwow and where everyone is welcome to participate in intertribals (if they meet the common sense requirements of reverence and respect) and our arena director will make sure that these requirements are met by those looking to participate. In other words, we will not be catering to those who make things up as they go along! Contact: Rolling Thunder 770-735-6275. Email: rollingthunder34@ymail.com. www.rthunder.com
