Suggestions about attending Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremony or Navajo Nation fair?

I've been wanting to go to the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremony (Aug. 6-10) and the Navajo Nation Fair (Sept. 1-7), and hope to make it to at least one of them this year. Has anyone been to either, or have any recommendations about what to do or see, or not do or see, while there? Normally, I'd try to go to one weekend at each, but figuring in the cost of gas, I'll have to choose one over the other.

the navajo nation fair at window rock wasn't a bellegana-friendly enviornment, but we really enjoyed the fair at gallup and stayed most of the day. the music was terrific.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for the advice. It looks like I'll be heading to Gallup, without a camera, but with a smile. I'm looking forward to it!; ▶ Reply to This
