Native Performers Take Center Stage

Fourteen hours. That’s how long ten Native American dance groups will perform at the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians Annual Big Time. The yearly free cultural event, which will be held August 25, 6–10 p.m., and August 26, 10 a.m.–10 p.m., will feature not just dancers but also Native American contemporary musicians, such as country singer Steven Hayes, as well as vendors selling Native art. There also will be activities for kids, including basket weaving demos, traditional storytelling, and bounce houses (one with water). Last but not least, a free traditional lunch will be served on August 25, and free lunch and dinner will be offered on August 26. The event will be held at 7130 Red Hills Road in Kelseyville.
