Osage 56 Music Fix Bike Rally

8/19/2023

 
This was the third year doing the rally and it will be a tough one to beat. To start, the weather cooperated with a day full of sunshine. Our first stop was the 56 Artisan Fix market featuring a wide array of merchandise from local merchants. The second stop was at Station 34 where Dads and Daughters fueled up with pizza and great music with a band featuring Pawnee Dads. Next up was The Moose Lodge where Osage and Pawnee Dads belted out some great covers.  Final stop was at Mrs. P and Me where an Osage and Pawnee Mom played zydeco music. The best part was an awesome stage left entrance by the Osage mid-set.

Spring 2023 Campout – Camp Crosley

4/29/2023

 
​A few rain showers can’t keep The Mountain Nation from having a good time at Camp Crosley! The nation started the weekend off with a flag raising and then hit the camp for two days of activities including Giant Swing, human-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippo, an egg race, and a Blue Man Group style portrait painting of the Nation Chief.  The dad’s put their best fork forward in hopes of capturing the Golden Spatula.  Princesses amazed the dads with their versions of tribe songs with the Mohicans stealing the show for best song!

Later in the evening the Spring Fire Ceremony was with filled with laughter and even some tears as new chiefs were handed the honor of leading their tribes into the new year along with the introduction of a new Nation Chief, Chief’s Hand, Reckoner, and Eminent to guide the growing nation. 
 
Spring Campout is always bittersweet… While we say hello to some new members, we also have to say goodbye to some graduates.  We ask the wind to guide this year’s graduates as they travel down their new paths.  They may be moving on from the nation, but the bond that was built between a father and daughter through the years has created two lifetimes of memories.  Friends Always!
