The 6th Annual "PowWow on Manatawny Creek" will take place this coming weekend, May 4 and 5 at Pottstown Memorial Park from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
This year the event will welcome the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 565 Color Guard who will lead the Grand Entry and Flag Ceremony. "Each year the PowWow circuits throughout the nation recognize veterans of the armed forces and first responders as an integral part of our tradition and we are glad to be honoring the American Legion Sanatoga chapter as well," according to organizer Ron Williams
Master of Ceremony Barry Lee is returning to lead dances and demonstrations and will also join with his Native Folklore band, Spirit Wing along with Barbara Christy.
Directing the circle this year are Head Dancers Hanna Jacobs Keller and Michael Nephew, past President of the American Indian Society. The Host Drum, The Zotigh Singer, and Guest Drums, Medicine Horse Singers, Red Blanket Singers and visiting Drum Gray Cloud singers promise make a memorable impression on the crowd.
As usual there will be a wide variety of Native American and Native American influenced merchandise, leather work, jewelry, art, clothing and children's items as well. Weather permitting a Falconer who has graced many of the PowWows in the Mid-Atlantic region will visit.
Dance presentations will include the Salinas Family Aztec Dancers and Hoop Dancer Matt Clair. And as always, ArtFusion 19464 will be offering Children events at their tent including some skill tossing activities.
To top it all off, the Circle Legacy Center will be providing Indian Fry Bread, Fry Bread Tacos and Wojapi, (a berry based Native American desert).
