Two-cents comments above are right on target w/ how we do it.

The "biggies" for our committee are:
FUNDRAISING
VENDORS
CONCESSIONS
PUBLIC RELATIONS
SECURITY

If we don't have ^^those things in place then we can't have a powwow.

Then there's:
Children's Room
Elder's Dinner
Raffle & Royalty
Head Staff Hospitality
Basketbal Tourney
Cash Handling
T-shirts & Programs
Clean-up

When I was 18, they put me in charge of Concessions (I was a freshman, and the seniors told me it would be easy)....I was sometimes the only one in there making frybread. I even had to recruit my dad from the stands to make the Indian tacos.lol!!! I made a little over 500 pieces of frybread on Saturday. I was like a machine.....that's one of my favorite memories tho:)

I love our little powwow:)
