The Weekender: Happy Labor Day weekend in the 10!

The Northern Arapaho Powwow starts Friday night at the Arapaho Powwow Grounds (Left Hand Ditch Road, Arapahoe) at 6 p.m., with vendors and Native American arts and crafts on site.

Bring your own chair to experience the singing, drumming, and dances of Wind River, and check out the Powwow’s new “community closet” that will lend regalia for the day. If you want to participate in the Fun Run, it starts 10 a.m. on Saturday, sponsored by the Wind River Cares Diabetes Awareness Program.

A multi-day horseshoe tournament will also begin on Saturday at 9 a.m. There’s no entry fee, but there’s $1500 in prize money up for grabs between the singles, women’s, and co-ed team competitions.

🍅 And don’t forget to see what garage sales there are this weekend, or what’s at the farmers’ markets in Riverton and Lander.
