It wasn't exactly the weather we were hoping for. A steady heavy drizzle isn't my first choice for taking pictures but that's what we were given on Saturday. So what did we do? We said the heck with it, let's come back tomorrow! Our small group of photo club members was rewarded on Sunday with brilliant sunshine, warm temperatures, and wonderful performances at the first annual Pow Wow held at the Portal Institute outside of Susquehanna, PA.
My main reason for coming to the Pow Wow was to see the Aztec Dancers. I had seen most of the dancers from the Northeast before, but I had never seen an Aztec dance before, so I was very much looking forward to it. And I was not disappointed!

As a matter of fact, all the dancers were very good, with many dancers coming from the Lakota nation. But most of the Northeast nations were well represented at the Pow Wow. All of us from the photo club were very impressed and plan on coming back next year, as we found out they are going to make this an annual event.
For more information about the Pow Wow, visit the Portal Institute. And plan to come down and see what the Portal Institute has to offer. From the Binghamton area, it is a very pleasant drive through some beautiful country. I imagine once the leaves begin changing, the scenery will be spectacular!
