COTRAIC 40th Annual Powwow; Penn Brewery Oktoberfest; Free RADical Days Events (Sun., 9/30/18)

COTRAIC 40TH ANNUAL POWWOW—Sept. 29-30, Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center.

1) At summer’s end, in late September, comes the lovely time known as Indian Summer. And with it comes the spectacular Annual Powwow held by the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center. The Council doesn’t represent a particular American Indian nation or tribal group; it’s a service and cultural organization for everyone in our region whose ancestors arrived in America long before any Europeans did. The Powwow reflects this diversity and is open to everyone, period. Major attractions are the music and dancing, which begin with the “grand entry” of dancers at 1 p.m., then continue through the day. Also on tap are traditional American foods, plus arts and crafts (with items such as handmade jewelry, clothing, and ceramics for sale), and children’s activities. Although most dancing is done by experts skilled in the authentic styles, there are dances which all guests are invited to join. And, as at any powwow, just plain socializing is a big part of the experience. Noon-7 p.m. Sept. 29 and 30. 120 Charles St., Dorseyville.(MV)

2) Penn Brewery is in full-swing with its Oktoberfest celebration at the brewery, restaurant and bar complex. Plenty of fine Penn Brews, German food and entertainment are on tap. Today’s music is provided by Autobahn outside from 4 to 8 p.m. Last Day. Noon – 10 p.m. 800 Vinial St., Troy Hill.
