Although the temperature was warm at the Mission Indian Friendship Centre Society International Competition Powwow held July 6 to 9, dancers moved in sync with the beat of a number of drum groups. Colorful regalia, food vendors and craft vendors filled the Fraser River Heritage Park during the four-day event.

"It was great. The weather was good, warm and everyone had a good time," said Roberta Whiskeyjack, headstart co-ordinator, Mission Friendship Centre. "Next year the powwow is expected to be bigger than it was this year," she said.
