Bozho (Hello),
This is a call for all Citizen Potawatomi veterans to join us (the CPN Veterans Organization) in a very special and personally rewarding parade in Wewoka, Oklahoma, on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2024, at the “world famous” WEWOKA SORGHUM FESTIVAL PARADE. We have a trailer with chairs and flags, the Big Red Golf Cart, and my mini Jeep displaying all the military service flags, including the U.S flag, Potawatomi flag and the POW/ MIA flags. To participate in this event is a great honor and we welcome you veterans and your families to join us in this rewarding event. Line-up starts at 8 a.m., but the parade doesn’t start until 10 a.m., so, that gives you plenty of time to find a seat on the trailer or the red golf cart. I have room for one “small” person in my mini Jeep. Please join us in this rewarding event. The parade line-up is just north of town on Highway 56, which runs into the Wewoka main street. Migwetch (Thank you)!
The Sorghum Festival includes a car show, food booths, arts and crafts, quilt show, an art show, a sorghum bake off and free entertainment. You can’t get any more fun than that. All the attractions (and parade) start at the Wewoka Chamber of Commerce (101 West Park) and go seven blocks to Seminole Nation Museum at 524 South Wewoka Street. Uphill all the way and you get to ride. What fun that will be!
Remember the Citizen Potawatomi Veterans Organization meets at the North Reunion Hall every fourth Tuesday Veterans Report of each month at 6 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there). You do not have to be a member and families are welcome. Pizza is served and kids will play while we eat.
Daryl Talbot, Commander
