in the Southwest.
The fair usually features a PRCA rodeo, carnival,
traditional Navajo song and dance, midway, arts

an hour from Canyon de Chelly and makes a great
way to start or end your trip to the canyon area.

North and South America at the world renowned
Gallup Indian Ceremonial located 1.5 hours
