Fourteen craft vending booths and one early American living demonstration booth were set up circling the dance arena. One large food booth and one shaved ice vendor provided food and beverages. The quality of the craft booths was very good overall. The powwow committee provided suppers each evening for all dancers and drum singers. Neither dancers nor drums were charged registration fees and both had free admission to the event.
Coastal weather is fickle.
The weather was hot Friday and Saturday, and almost chilly Sunday with a stiff breeze, but no rain fell on the event. Just prior to the Friday evening grand entry, Arena Director Tyrone Grayhorse was asked to dance the grass down and thus symbolically prepare the circle for the powwow. We thought that was a nice beginning to the event. The Saturday supper provided for the dancers and drum singers consisted of roast deer meat, bear meat, and beef. Boiled potatoes and green beans rounded out the meal.
