Fort Collins and Hughes Stadium land: Then, now and what’s ahead
The Fort Collins land known best today as the site of the former Hughes Stadium has a long legacy and a future that has yet to be decided.
The Northern Colorado Intertribal Powwow Association is bringing its annual Spring Contest Powwow and Indian Art Market back to Fort Collins next month.
The event — NCIPA’s biggest — invites the public to experience Native American culture through authentic Native American food, arts, music, singing, social and intertribal dancing, according to a news release.
The 31st Annual Spring Contest Powwow and Indian Market will be held April 11-13 at Fort Collins’ Northside Aztlan Community Center, 112 E. Willow St.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs.
The event’s tentative schedule includes a ground blessing at 4:30 p.m. April 11 followed by a gourd dance at 5 p.m. and intertribal dancing starting at 7 p.m. Dancing will start at 11 a.m. on April 12 and 13.
