Thank you for coming...you made it extra special!
My husband & I were able to go to the event in the Beaver Dome this year and were again impressed with it. The dancers were diverse and the drumming always gets to my soul. We attended with the hopes of purchasing a music CD and other items from the vendors and left with more than anticipated. How lucky we are to have such an event in our own back yards! Many thanks to all those who make it happen.
