Mossy Creek Powwow

July 14th Phoenix and I had the honor to attend the first Mossy Creek Powwow in Morristown, TN…fantastic to visit with Tamara and Tim, Ronnie and Gina, Cindy and Shawna, visited with sweet Robert Davy, right off the bat… it was unusual as it was inside the Tally Ward Building. But the air conditioning was a great plus! haha Several folks there that are near and dear to my heart…had a friend from FL visiting, he got to come along, too. Was a wonderful day of dancing, miss Phoenix danced several dances…thanks Cindy for the leather and thanks Gina for getting it to keep Phoenix’s unicorn hair barrette in her hair. great vendors…got a few things we just couldn’t live without! Many of the dancers I knew from down the trail, a few new ones to me…2 young brothers that really caught my eye…they were dancing off each other and man, could they dance! good vibes, good times, good friends…for their 1st powwow, I’d say it was a great success! many blessings to you and yours! I am wearing the bear necklace i purchased that day, Phoenix loves her unicorn necklace and also her earrings from Carrie and Kent…was wonderful to visit with Spotted Horse and Carol, too…a good day for all…love and light…the regalia was beautiful, the wonderful feelings of a positive powwow!
