The Navajo Nation Fair kicked off this week with the traditional foods contest for the Miss Navajo contestants and the “gateway” pageant for babies and toddlers.

It was a bit disappointing that there weren’t more rez mutts at the Central Navajo Fair’s first-ever Bow Wow Dog Show.

Animals have always been a part of fairs but when you think of fair animals you usually think of cute 4-H’ers and their prize lambs and hogs. This year, the Central Agency Fair will be celebrating rez dogs.

There’s a nasty little cliché that makes every teacher cringe: Those that can’t, teach.
