Come Experience American Indian Culture

UTA is hosting a real pow wow! I took Jack and Molly last year, and Jack really loved it. This year, they are having a tiny tots dancing competition, which should be really neat for the kids to watch. I think this is an opportunity to show your children the beautiful and historic traditions of America's Native past. Here is the rest of the info. Of course, if you want to go, let me know, because Mike and I are planning on taking Jack and Molly again this year!

Here is the info off the UTA website!
