Multi-media Displays and Four Host First Nations Volunteers greeted visitors as did this Red River Cart!
One level down, between the entrance and the main selling floor was our Booth, displaying the Banner we created the day before we moved in!
From the above picture, turning to the right, looking down on the main floor The Osoyoos Indian Band display, with life-size Chief Clarence Louie, was right below us
a broader view
Our Booth
A short set-up time, left us with a less than desirable lay-out - "No, we aren't the Information Desk, no we don't have Olympic pins and yes, we do know where the bathrooms are!!"...
But many people were pleasantly surprised to find a booth full of beautiful pictures hidden behind.....
...visited by many and entertained by Dennis playing his flutes!
Some of the booths on the floor
The small stage had a variety
of entertaining acts (the rappers weren't my favorite)... 
....but it was wonderful to experience the Four Host First Nations traditional
dancing and singing
Joined by more dancers from their nation
