The outdoor venue at the Silver High School football field was a great location for a powwow, if buckets of rain hadn't fallen. The Red Paint Powwow went on, likely because of what the Emcee Gabe Ayala said at one point: "It's just a little water." 

On Friday, vendors set up and some visitors came for the fry bread and to check out the wares. On Saturday, the Grand Entry was pushed back in time while waiting for Northern Drum to arrive. Southern Drum was in place for the Gourd Dance of veterans.  Sunday faced rainy times, too, but the drums and the announcer could be heard at a distance, so more dances took place on Sunday.
