Powwow at Petrack Park, blues at the HUBB

The big ticket item for this weekend is the annual Social Powwow at Petrack Park which begins Friday afternoon. The grand entrance will be at 10 a.m. Saturday.

This is a chance to get some unique gifts from the vendors and learn something about Native American culture. If you find a piece of a dancer’s costume on the ground, be respectful. Leave it where you find it and get an elder from the drum circle to retrieve it.

A fundraiser for Ruthie Edwards, co-owner of the Bounty Hunter will take the form of a pajama party. Wear your best jammies to the party, which begins at 7 p.m. Karaoke, food, raffle and an auction will be part of the festivities.

The bar is located at the corner of East and Second streets.

The Maverick is playing for the younger set with four bands beginning at 7 p.m. Music will be provided by the Wretched Soul Kids, Sine Wave, Strange Mistress, Lawn Mower Death Rider and the Bounty Hunter Brothers.
