We played Colonel By Day today. The musical performance was outside under a canopy. It rained, was scary because of all the electronics. We covered everything with plastic and tarps. We had a bit of a late start as we waited for the rain to stop. So no photos or video of the performance. For the beadwork and leatherwork demonstration they moved us inside which was way better. Here's a couple of pics.
