 Experience a fun evening of good food and great beer in the tasting room
of New Belgium Brewing Company
(Map).
Join us at New Belgium's Brewery to learn about their beer and the
brewmasters behind them. We invite you to pull up a recycled bike rim
stool to the bar in our Liquid Center. Or, for instant gratification,
crack open a bottle and kick back and relax.

entire menu of New Belgium's Beers here.
Silent Auction
To help defray conference costs, we will hold a silent auction during
the conference. Auction items will be available for review and bidding
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with bids closing before Saturday’s
banquet. Silent auction item donations, particularly raptor or wildlife
items (books,
t-shirts, gifts, artwork) are gratefully requested from members and
attendees. To pledge a donation contact Local Committee member.
Awards Banquet
Saturday,
September 25, 2010
7:15 - 11:00 pm in the Marriott Ballroom
The
Iron Family Dancers and Singers will exhibit the various styles of
intertribal powwow dancing of the Plains Indian Tribes. Each exhibition
dance will include an explanation of the dance regalia and origination
of the dance style. A brief biography of each dancer will also be
related to the audience. We aim to be highly interactive with the
audience, sharing and promoting awareness of the richness of the Native
American culture through song and dance, and short stories. If the setup
allows, we would love to include the audience in a couple of social
dances.
Tribes of family members present for this performance: Pawnee, Crow,
Navajo, ogalala Lakota, Southern Cheyenne, Kiowa
