western agency! represent!

well, it's that time of year again.  indigenous people's day weekend 2011 has come to a close and next weekend is the western agency fair in tuba city.  between the marching bands, carnaval rides, song + dance competition, the last yeibichee dance of the season and various rodeos, it's going to be big!


my friend, austin mix (who says he's distantly related to the legendary cowpoke, tom mix), has a roping arena he calls "the roping zone."  i got work up there last year in time for the tuba city fair.  however, he told me that he really wanted a picture of a roper on the announcer's stand since his area is just a roping area.   one of my co-workers (marilyn jordan) asked her 15 year old cowboy son (craigen, junior), if he'd been into getting his picture on the stand.  fortunately, he was.

thanks cj.
