I was disappointed with the Trail of Tears Pow-Wow in Hopkinsville, Kentucky this past week-end. There was great weather, and great sounding drums, but very few dancers. I can only guess that it might have something to do with the fact that the committee was charging the dancers a $5.00 admission fee to get into the dance. Something not done in previous years.
