Held on the shores of our Sacred Springs in San Marcos, considered by many to be the oldest continuously inhabited site in North America, this year’s Powwow will be held on October 6.  The Association is a sponsor of the Powwow.

Admission suggested is $2.00 for adults or 2 cans of food for the Food Bank, no charge for Elders, Veterans, Students, or Children.

The Powwow offers visitors, residents, and future residents a magnificent cultural experience that is unmatched in Texas.  It will be a full day of Native American exhibition dancers, performances by Aztec groups, Native arts and crafts booths, and indigenous food, in a celebration that brings economic opportunities and an enhanced, positive image to our local community.  Visit the Indigenous Cultures website for more info

More than 200 people filled the Texas Music Theatre August 11, bringing in over $2,500 in profit for the day from ticket sales and DVD sales (we keep a portion of all DVD sales at the event).  After seeing the award-winning documentary, guests at the event were treated to a bonus feature: video footage of the recent removal of the two submarine theatres from Spring Lake.

Filmmaker Bob Phillips introduced Brenda Russell (daughter of Margaret Russell who trained many of the Aquamaids); Shirley Rogers, one of the first Aquamaids; and Scott McGehee, former General Manager to talk about Aquarena and take questions from the audience.   

We appreciate their attendance which made the event even more special.

Many Heritage members answered the call to help make the afternoon such a success.  Among those who worked at the event or contributed in other ways were Chris Secrest, Jane Hughson & Terry Blackwell, Jim and Doni Weber, Sue and Jimmy Cobb, Ed & Sally Kuny, Diane Baker, Thea Dake and her grandson, Bibb Underwood, Diane Studebaker, Bill & Janet Fly, Marianne Moore, Anne DeStefano, and Shelley Henry.
