How many powwows in a year?

**WocusWoman** · 10-05-2005, 01:53 PM

Hello, new idea for a new thread. So, how many powwows are able to make it to in a given year?

As for myself; as a child and teen I probably averaged 10 a year. Nowadays, as a married woman with kids and living in isolated Alaska, I'm lucky to go to 2-3 in a year. Very sad:(

My guess is 10 not because I dance but because my daughter and grandkids dance! I enjoy taking pictures and videoing!!!

For the last few years, I've been averaging 28 powwows a year. I already have 24 confirmed for 2006.

Never though about it? I try to hit every powwow but with school and a website, not to mention four kids. Not as many as I like. I would say over 20 or so?

Don't really know how many. Has gas prices affected any one's traveling. I live in Texas, not too many really good pow wows here so we travel, but gas has been pretty high here, so travel hasn't been as easy. I've had to be a little more selective. Maybe, 2006 will be better.

Keep dancin'

I usually average about 8 or 9 a year. This year, SADLY, I only made it to 2! I'm so upset with myself.

I'm not a dancer but I have serveral family members who are & I enjoy going to see them, as well as all the other incredible dancers.

Hopefully, I could make it to the Gathering of Nations next year in Albuquerque!

So far 24 this year. But it's been a slow year. With the kids and school and work it's just been a bit harder to go as often as i'd like.

Veon · 11-21-2005, 11:19 PM

I hit about 21-25 p/year faithfully.
