Bear Creek won last year s contest therefore receiving the honor of being this year s host drum. Although plans are well underway, the 16th Annual Little Elks Retreat Powwow Committee is still looking for volunteers, dancers, drummers and even a princess or two. Volunteers are needed in a variety of areas. The committee needs people to help set up the arbor about a week before the powwow. They also need people to help collect cedar which will be set up just before the event.
People can also help with registration, setting up chairs and collecting trash.
On behalf of the committee, I d like to say thanks to all the volunteers and hope they return next year, stated committee member Darcy Sprague. One criteria used to judge the candidates was their public speaking ability. However, due to weather and time constraints, the candidates were not able to do their presentations on stage in front of the majority of the powwow participants.
