It was warm and busy at the 4th annual Christina Lake Homecoming. Over 60 vendors carried goods like native drums and flutes, learned how to make pine needle baskets, heard live music and took part in children's activities. The day started with a pancake breakfast and continued on into the evening with drumming and more festivities. Live music included Grand Forks' native Amanda Thate and Blackberry Wood.
