The 97th Annual Shiprock Fair


The 97Th Annual Shiprock Fair is now going on and well be going on through out the weekend. Well i pretty sure most you guys know where Shiprock, NM is. But if not then i think looking it up on the Internet would be the best choice. I think.....
Well i have gone to the Shiprock Fair for as long as i can remember because my family really likes to get together that weekend and enjoy all the fun going on. I'm not really sure that I'm going to this fair though.
The Shiprock Fair is an event which brings together thousands of people and have all kinds events, Navajo ceremonies, pow wows, carnivals, and selling of all kinds of food but mainly Navajo food. I would say that the best thing that i like about the fair is Saturday morning when the parade begins. It usually lasts about an hour and a half but i find it really interesting. But what my dad likes to watch is called the Yé'ii Bicheii Dance which usually lasts about 3 days during the fair.
Well if you want to know more about the Shiprock Fair and the Yé'ii Bicheii Dance here is more information from the Navajo Times.
There are usually alot of people here but I'm really sure about how much. All i know is i see alot of my friends that i haven't seen in awhile. Which is fun only sometimes...
