Over the weekend, four grand entries will feature drumming, dancing and singing in the park dancing circle. Hundreds of dancers will register for the weekend and compete in a variety of categories, including men’s and women’s traditional, men’s chicken and women’s jingle dancing. For adults, a total of seven categories were available with three more for those over age 50.
