100th Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial

Since today is the final day for this year's Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, I headed over to Red Rock Park to see the exhibits and the kiddie sheep-riding event.

It was a bit hot out, so I just stayed a couple of hours. It was a good thing I did, for when I got home, we had a thunderstorm roll into Jamestown. It was a bit difficult to take pictures at the rodeo arena as many spectators has umbrellas that prevented unobstructed views.

This year's Ceremonial marks the centennial of it.

I wandered around the convention center to check out the entries for the art contest along with the room with Navajo rugs and jewelry. 

Outside, I came upon the booth for Fire Rock Navajo Casino. They had a spin-the-wheel game in which winning a prize was pretty much guaranteed. Before heading there, I bought a bleacher seat cushion at the official Ceremonial booth. It was only $5.00. But as things turned out, I won a Fire Rock Navajo Casino bleacher seat cushion. So I ended up with two of them. The nice thing about the Fire Rock cushion, it included a pocket for me to put my copy of the Centennial program inside.

I had a good time there.
