If the gas is too expensive, you can enter the old style grass contest and ride the HORSE home!

"Straight Singing Contest" -- does that mean no contemporary singing?? (stupid question i know)

Just curious....

My family is craaaaazy!

They went to Ft. Duschene Powwow in Utah last weekend; Carnegie, Oklahoma for the 4th and left for Prairie Island last night at 8 pm. in order to make the Thursday night grand entry!

Too boot,

Oil barrel prices just went up to it's highest level in history, making gas even more expensive!

**ndldy68** · 07-06-2006, 11:38 AM

I will be there. I just might have to call in to work and tell them I won't be in. I have to make grand entry. Even thought I know that I won't win. I just love to dance. LOL
