it's good information. Can we ask this group to continue the dancing on Sunday night of Crow Fair. it was very boring last year when sunday nite was quiet.
ReplyDeleteits not very often we get to see information about"home". refreshing to see names i'm familiar with. update information as often as you can. we need it out here in the cities.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see familiar faces and hear about the people back home. Helps alleviate the homesickness we sometimes feel. Great job!

My granddaughter, April Fray Wilson, is the 2008 Black Lodge District Crow Fair Princess. She is a senior @ Lodge Grass High School & will graduate in May.
ReplyDeletelast years Crow Fair was a flop, due to the rodeo only having 8 saddle bronc riders and the races were suppose to have at least $10,000 purses in the All American, Crow Bred Futurity, where did the money go?
ReplyDeleteAfter the rodeo where did the pow wow go, boy sure good to have money and not pay out in rodeo, sucks.
Keep the pow wow going on sunday night and when you advertise a prize keep it, don't change in the middle of the game.
I can't wait for Crow Fair. I'm excited! It's going to be a goot one! Don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteI think the officials should try harder to keep the alcohol away from camp. It's ridiculous that alcohol always seems to get through and the seller doesn't care who he/she sells to as long as they're getting paid. The person buying could be a pre-teen for as long as they care.
ReplyDeleteits very pimpin luv u
ReplyDeleteI agree with SGL. They gotta get on the ball here.
ReplyDeleteSales of the products in the world, is not the first car, but himself. In you successfully sells oneself to others, you must have 100% sells oneself to yourself.
ReplyDeletea haha. this is too much fun.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to produce a one man show about my life.
ReplyDelete&we are get together!
ReplyDeleteSalut Laura, ce que vous avez une vocation! Je sens que l'alphabétisation est étroitement liée à la pauvreté. Quand je vois le taux d'échec dans nos écoles de la ville haute et le montant de la pauvreté dans les centres-villes ici même dans notre propre pays, vous le savez, il est vrai aussi.
