This month’s event will feature archery and hatchet throwing led by Brian Jackson, a 12-time Guinness World Record holder known around the world as “The I Believe Guy.” Jackson, who has appeared on America’s Got Talent, Stan Lee’s Superhumans, and multiple international television specials, brings his unique blend of athletic skill and motivational speaking to the RCCA stage.

Due to excessive rainfall, RCCA’s annual Cherokee cornstalk shoot was canceled this year because of crop loss, but Jackson’s visit ensures a thrilling substitute.

Doors open at 1:00 p.m., followed by a hotdog cookout at 1:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring a side dish or dessert to share. Door prize drawings will be held throughout the afternoon.

At 1:45 p.m., the meal will wrap up ahead of the 2:00 p.m. business meeting, which includes officer vacancies, budget discussions, and time for remarks or questions for any Cherokee Nation Tribal Council members in attendance. Copies of the meeting agenda are available from the RCCA Secretary.

Following the business portion, the community will gather for traditional Cherokee games facilitated by Jackson. All equipment will be provided.

The RCCA Cherokee Community Choir will meet after the business meeting to rehearse with Interim Choir Director Cara Cowan Watts.

This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. RCCA membership is encouraged and available for $10/year for individuals or $25/year for households. Cherokee Nation citizens 18 and older are eligible for General Membership; others may join as Associate Members.
