June 6 & 7 -- 62nd Annual Chicago Indian Pow Wow!
Topic: Travel/Recreation
62nd annual chicago pow wow, the whitehurst blog

Are you looking for something to do this Summer?  Do you live in, or will you be in the Chicagoland area in early June?  If so, make plans to visit the 62nd Annual Chicago Pow Wow, taking place on June 6 & 7 at Busse Woods in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

A pow wow (or pau wau) is a gathering of Native American peoples.  I've been to a couple of the Chicago Pow Wows, and they were marvelous!  Tasty Native food, wonderful smells in the air, the rhymic beat of Indian drums and music floating to the heavens, and the most beautiful costumes!  There were also places to buy authentic Native American goods and clothing.

If you want to take in some culture & history, while enjoying wonderful sites and sounds -- and enjoying delicious food -- make plans to visit the 62nd Annual Chicago Pow Wow now!  Oh, and be sure to try the FRY BREAD  and  INDIAN TACOS!

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament

BodyThis past weekend I took a step back into history with a visit to Schaumburg, Illinois' Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. Just approaching King Alfonso's Schaumburg Castle gave me the feeling of stepping into a long gone era. However it was inside the castle that history really came alive!

The experience started off with staff welcoming visitors in period attire, and even using English accents. Further enhancing this trip back into time the castle was full of historical displays, including $6000 suits of plate armor and a dungeon/torture chamber. There were numerous gift shops, open liquor bars, a dance floor, and even a period sword shop. With my tour of the castle completed I made my way inside the Grand Ceremonial Arena, and all the action commenced!

A four act play began, telling the tale of virtuous knights trying to bring order and justice to a war-torn kingdom. Jousts, battles, and performances by magnificently trained Andalusian war horses dominated the arena! While all of this was going on a feast was being served: Roasted chicken, ribs, potatoes, garlic bread, a tasty soup, and a nice little pastry. The food was delicious!!



With the show over, I left Schaumburg Castle for my journey back into the present completely entertained and stuffed!

My 9 year-old daughter Bajani also left satisfied...maybe a bit too satisfied. During the performance a mounted knight kissed a flower and tossed it to her. The sparkle of puppy love filled her eyes, and I don't think that she has put the flower down yet! My daughter lost her heart to the yellow knight -- what am I to do (LOL)! She wasn't alone among children losing their hearts that day. The little boys seated next to me were going crazy over our gorgeous serving wench (that's what they're called there).

If you have a Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament near you, I highly reccommend making a visit!
