Today (what's left of it) is Labor Day and that marks the end of the nightly Indian dances at the McKinley County Courthouse Square in Gallup.
Due to the heart problem I was confronted with in late July, I was not up to par during the weeks immediately following it. I was hoping to attend one more before today, but the weather wasn't all that cooperative and I was also hanging with some of the neighbors in coyote hunting.
I, at least, over there three times this summer.
The nightly Indian dancing involving different tribes and pueblos begins on Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day. The dances are free to the public.
I am looking forward to next year's nightly Indian dancing in Gallup.
Some of highlights of different dances I did see:

The following are events that I am looking forward to attending:
Coming up in the Navajo Nation is the Navajo Nation Fair in Window Rock, Arizona on September 10 to 15. In Gallup, the 15th Annual UFO Film Festival on October 19 and 20. On November 30 to December 2, the Annual Red Rock Balloon Rally Mass Ascensions (this is second only to the Albuquerque balloon rally).
