It all sounds good to me! The Osages hold their dances three of the weekends in June, but as everyone has remarked, there's no good time for everyone.

Sounds like they are willing to provide conference facilities and a reduced rate block of rooms at the Paragon Hotel-Casino resort (see their website: http://www.paragoncasinoresort.com/Home.aspx.  We can charge a minimal conference fee for catered drinks and snacks.  The nearest commercial airport is Alexandria International (AEX), which is 45 minutes from Marksville.  The Resort could provide shuttle service to and from that airport.  Any other airports (e.g., Baton Rouge, New Orleans) you'd have to rent a car.  (Baton Rouge is about a 90-min. drive; New Orleans 2.5-hr. drive.)

What do you all think?  (May is out of the question, since they have their Pow-Wow in mid-May and then Memorial Day holiday.)

We could possibly make this a "field trip" perhaps a day before or after the conference for those who may be interested.  Something else to think about.
