Great Craft Fair

This past Saturday, Betty and I went to one of the Indian pueblos North of us, Santo Domingo. They have a craft fair every Labor Day weekend. We have seen the signs for the craft fair for years and always said we ought to go.

Well we went this past Saturday.

It turned out to be a larger event than we expected. There were Indian crafts people from all over including Navajo and Hopi as well as pueblo folks. The work was high quality and the prices were as expected, but affordable.

Besides the crafts there was lots of food - Indian fry bread, Indian tacos, etc. - and dance teams. The two dance teams we watched while we were there were great. The first had a darling little girl and the second was made up of four small children - two boy and two girls (see the video below).

If the weather had been about 10 degrees cooler or if it had been cloudy it would have been a perfect day.

Here's a short video.

Great colors and such fun! I could almost hear that first child thinking/saying, "I told them this thing itches!"
