Hand Drums and Hoop Dance

By Beacon Staff

Now, here’s an event you don’t see every week: Flathead Valley Community College will host an end-of-winter gathering, hand-drum competition and hoop dance exhibit March 27. The event will feature one man hand-drum singers, a performance by a hoop dancer, food and Native American arts and crafts vendors.

The event kicks off at 6 p.m. in the college’s Arts and Technology Building and will be open to the public with a $5 charge for general admission.

Cash prizes of $250, $150 and $100 will be awarded to winners of the hand-drum competition. Hand-drum singers interested in competing can contact the FVCC Multicultural Affairs Office at 756-3945, or email [email protected].

If we’re lucky maybe they’ll be as good as this guy:
