Spring is here, and with such a mild winter it has Sprung Early in most parts of the Southeast. I have seen the Butterflies Fluttering, newly hatched Spiderlings Spinning and I have already gathered my first batch of Chickweed to dry! I have been very busy with the new shop, listing auctions on eBay, restocking the shop, special orders, and Regalia fixes for my sponsor Dancers, so I have not blogged in quite a while.

We had such a Wonderful Thundering Spirit Pow wow this year, it was one of the Biggest attended in several years. I want to personally Thank all the Drums, Dancers, Performers, Vendors, Tony & Myra, the Supportive Spectators and Public for helping keep this years pow wow so Special. I also want to thank all those who chose Not to attend the pow wow this year, you all helped in your own special way as well, be Blessed.

This years Summer Run Kicks off for us at the Cherokee of Georgia Pow wow in St George, Georgia. We were invited to vend this year and are able to attend due to being so near the location. We are very excited to be able to see many of our Florida and Georgia Pow Wow family one more time before we head North on the Trail. I didn't get to attend our family pow wow in March, so I missed seeing many Dear Ones in Florida.

Uncle Tony and Thunder

As always, our schedule is tentative, with additions and corrections being made on our pow wow page on the dot com here: http://sixdirectionstraders.com/calendar.html So check back often, or if you are looking for an event that we may not be attending that may be in your vicinity. A new state icon was added to the pow wow page recently, I got a listing from a pow wow in Oklahoma. So it is not just the Southeast area, I have listings from Canada, Nebraska, and such. With that said, this is the lineup we have so far, after COG, Ken will either be MC or AD at all these events, so they are definite. Fill-ins will be designated on the pow wow page, by the wrulf icon as they get finalized. Much Love and many prayers ~wrulf
