I am glad to know about 33rd Annual Roasting Ears of Corn Festival. Mikmaq Hoop Dancing is one of the main events during this festival and it is really nice to see how they dance by using wide rings.

Thank you so much for letting us know about the 33rd Annual Roasting Ears of Corn Festival in Augusut, 2013. To be honest I was really surprised it's actually a Native American PowWow. I just love attending the different PowWow's each year. Probably one of my favorite things to do. This one sounds really unique and special...I hope I can attend.

PS Bill...we have several PowWow throughout PA..I hope you get a chance to attend one..you'll really love it

This looks like a wonderful festival/gathering of Native American and First Nations people. I didn't know such a thing occurred in PA. I wish I could be there. Thanks for posting this...Maybe next year.
