61st Annual Winter Night Ceremonials!
The Sahawe Dancers from Uvalde, TX arrived at 3:35 am this morning and are probably just waking up at the Kiva. They have danced with us many times. They will have four dances of their own, and the veterans may join in some of the Kwahadi dances too. We are excited and blessed they have come to dance with us! Ramon Castro, their long-time leader, reports they have a mostly new young group. The Sahawe have a party of 22 people including 15 dancers.
Be at the Kiva by a. 2:00 to meet the Sahawe group and to get ready for the 3 pm Parent Show. We hope parents can come out with friends (as we have been encouraging) to give the team a nice audience for the opening show. KGNC radio (the family station) has been running ads for the show. The weather may discourage some, but it has been so cold for a while perhaps most folks have accepted it and going on with activities.
In between the shows, Debbie has been helping the parents organize a potluck dinner for everyone. We have breakfasts foods for them in the morning before they begin the long journey back to Uvalde.
Be sure to check your winter regalia to be sure you have it all. You are a small, but very talented, dance team, and every dancer is important to making the shows a success! 😊
Look forward to seeing everyone!
Charles
