Specials

We welcome family and organization specials at National Powwow. All Specials and Give-Aways must be coordinated with the Committee prior to the dance, as our schedule is very full. Prizes, if any, for family-sponsored specials are supplied and awarded by the sponsoring family. National Powwow is not affiliated in any way with family-sponsored specials. There will be no blanket dances other than those requested by the Committee.
