NORTH BATTLEFORD — There was a good turnout to the WDM, attested to by the overflowing parking lot full of cars and buses. Many children were bussed in from the various schools around the Battlefords.
"It is so good to see all the children enjoying the powwow," one spectator mentioned.
The weather started out looking unpredictable, but the sun came out when the event started.
After the Grand March dignitaries, including FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron, Mayor of North Battleford David Gillan and Mayor of Battleford Ames Leslie, started the event by giving speeches.
There were a few food carts and product vendors at the event. After each category from Tiny Tots to Golden Age Adults, money was given to the participating dancer. Money ranged from $10 (Tiny Tots) to $100 (Golden Age Adults). There were up to 10 Drum Groups drumming/singing for the dancers.
