Wakalapi

PRO'S:

• Free admission and free parking.
• Lots of motels in Pullman, Moscow, Colfax, etc. (reservations several weeks in advance highly recommended)
• NORTHERN CREE !! as host
• RED TAIL !! as co-host
• Good specials. The Mens Traditional "Spotlight Special" gave some of the region's best participating dancers a chance to really show off their moves, literally under the spotlight, each getting his own solo dance to the Red Tail singers.
• Lots of other good drums and good dancers
• Not many spectators (for its size)
• No series of giveaways or preaching to sit through for hours on end

CON'S:

• The sound system was a bit too loud (IMHO) and its crew didn't do so well "transfering volume" to the correct drum in time very often (each drum had its own dedicated microphone). I dunno if the dude playing Windows Solitaire at the booth's computer was supposed to be taking care of this or not.
• No other gripes. Really. GREAT POWWOW!!

CONTEST RESULTS
This is what I copied as it was verbally announced. I did not double-check it with anyone and it does not account for any challenges or changes that may occur with the powwow committee, blah blah blah. OK now the list!
I don't know some of these folks, sorry if I butcher or misspell names...
