The Pine Grove Juniors provided drumming while the

The early morning hours of Sunday, June 3
couldn't have been more distressing, as the rain
storm resembled a cloud burst. But as the
morning wore on, the rains subsided and the
weather improved considerably. The Warm
Springs museum cornerstone setting ceremonies
were spared.
Nearly 1,500 people attended the event at the
site of the new museum. A traditional dress parade
opened the festivities and approximately two
dozen rode into the temporary arena on horse
back.
The mood was bright during the day's events.
Friends met up with friends and new
acquaintances were made. It was a day of
rejoicing the birth of the museum that will explain
the true story of the Confederated Tribes.
Following introductions and speeches, a lunch '
of salmon, salads and fry bread was served. The
wind blew, but not even that could dampen the
mood.
More than one person could be heard asking, "I
wonder what the museum grand opening will be
like?" Come back in 18 months and you'll find out.
