I'm not affiliated with the committee I just called and got the info. I posted before that Barb Hemlock isn't the greatest person to be head judge because she doesn't go to pow wows and doesn't know how things are run. Secondly I was stunned to learn that Golden Age prize money was less than adults and they only had 3 places AND they're combined. Myself personally I think it's disrespectful to our elders but that's my opinion. This is their first pow wow and are learning. Hopefully next year it will be better.
