We received this lovely note and letter in the mail from Jessica Lamb, who attended the Sixth Annual Odenong Powwow this past May. Such a wonderful thing to receive. We are grateful and honored that someone would take time out of their day to let us know they enjoyed their time at the Odenong Powwow.
