things went great with few exceptions."
Cleanup Crew Boss Mary Trevino was just as pleased.
"Things went exceptionally well. We got alot of compli
ments from visitors and vendors that the grounds looked
very good throughout the Pow-Wow." Trevino said her
crew worked steadily. "The crew was always busy
picking up. We helped keep an eye out for people who
were drinking and reported them to the police. We
were complimented by the Polk County Authorities for
our help. The crew did a fantastic job."
Pow Wow Committee Chairman Merle Leno was very
happy with this year's celebration. "Everything went very
well. Especially given the fact that this was our biggest
Pow Wow to date. The parking attendants did a good
job. We had a new flow of traffic that went one way
through the grounds and that worked out well. The new
traffic flow suggested by parking coordinator Linda
Olsen."

Leno was also pleased with the vendors, the clean up
crew and the maintenance crew. "The vendors area was
handled by Ken Schmid this year and it want much
better than last year. The clean up crew had only six
workers and they were kept busy from Friday through
Sunday. Along with the maintenance crew they were the
last people to leave Sunday. The maintenance crew did a
steady job. They had to bring the bleachers from
MacMinnville and set them up two days before the Pow
Wow. They did a good job of setting up the lights and
microphones too."
Mark Cook and Penny DcLoe handled the kitchen
duties. "They had maybe a total of 20 workers and they
served close to 2,500 people on Saturday," Leno said.
"We had very few problems this year and I would just
like to thank everybody who helped make this year's
celebration the best one yet." '
Overall, it can be said that this Pow-Wow, the 6th
annual, was the best event yet staged by the Confeder
ated Tribes of Grand Ronde. It was visited by more
people, had more vendors and made more money than .
any Pow-Wow yet. Thanks to all of you who made this
event such a tremendous success and here is to many
more such successes in the future.
