    Would it be possible to pave the Midway? By now, our Navajo people should be able to enjoy the carnival and other areas without all the dust (there are people with respiratory ailments, etc.) and mud. We also need to emphasize CLEAN BATHROOMS. Picnic tables and benches placed throughout the fairgrounds for the elderly and disabled would be extremely beneficial! Thank you! ?

    I been attending the Navajo Nation Fair for exactly 20 years. It is SAD to see no changes to the buildings, the grounds, the rodeo ground bleachers, and the parking areas. Nothing has been UPGRADED to this day. A Great Indian Nation with rich in tradition and culture. AND in all fairness, please Crown a REAL NAVAJO QUEEN. FAVORITISM plays a large part in crowning our Queen. Where does the money go? Show some class and modernize the the grounds and facility. Thank you.

    Miss Navajo Nation competition and judging was a farce. I feel for the young ladies that were cheated out of a far competition and judging. Might as well just forego the competition and hand it over to the most undeserving person. We all know who should have won. I can’t believe the person that got the crown thinks she really won and deserves it. Hopefully next year will be a more fair competition and judging.

    I was disappointed with people driving off when parade is still coming down the road. We talk about safety they need to wait until parade is completely over. For the safety of our children whom are picking up candy and people r driving off. I think the police need to stop these drivers and make them wait.

    This is concerning what happen Friday night. We plan to stay overnight for the parade and paid five dollars for a parking space. We went inside to the carnival with our kids and returned back to the truck. We were getting ready to sleep and this man knocked our window rudely and told us to either pay another five or leave or we get towed out. I asked him if he was a fair committee or one who lives inside the fence. He said they have grazing permit and in charge of the parking area across the civic center. I noticed some people were leaving and hardly nobody parked there. So we parked to the next parking area and we slept with no problem. I don’t know if you are aware of this or they have a right to profit over the parking area and chase people away from there across the civic center.I dont know how many people had a problem with this.

    Does anyone on the fair committee or organizers have a response for all the people who have questions?

    Major upgrades need to be made!!
    More restrooms
    Places to wash hands
    More trashcan
    Air conditioning
    Paved roads and walkways
    Rodeo ground seating needs updating
    More entertainment
    Cost of food is way to high
    Addition fee is ridiculous for all this mess….UPGRADE PLEASE!!

    You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I
    to find this topic to be really something that I think I’d by no means
    understand. It sort of feels too complex and very extensive for me.
    I’m looking ahead in your subsequent publish, I will attempt to get the dangle
    of it!

    Can anybody please help me, we are a group of native New Zealanders (Maori) looking to visit the Navajo mid year 2017. What would be the best time to visit. We would like to learn your culture and history. The group is elderly so any information at all would be wonderful.

    Thank yoiu

    The Navajo Nation Fair needs an upgrade … Major upgrade!!! I mean look at how many casinos we run as Navajo people! We even run border towns as well! A new rodeo stadium would be nice! A high cross walk above the highway would be safe for all. Some Navajo billboards displaying past and present Navajo Queens and president with night light would be extravagant for non- Navajos to see! I have so much on my mind.. But would be decades for this to come alive… So I’m still dreaming for my people…. Thanks Leekinder Bahe of Rough Rock Arizona

    Having the Pow Wow during the middle of the week is one if the most idiotic moves ever done by the fair committee! I boycotted this yeas fair the pow wow is the only reason I go and I am not going during the week as I figured most pow wow dancers have jobs and wouldn’t be there on Tuesday. Another suggestion do something about out the pathetic pile iof dirt you call the pow wow camp grounds. What an embarrassment. plant some trees and grass!

  17. Guest says:

    Why did they move the Pow Wow to Week days, weekends are better…

  18. Byron Hoskie says:
    September 10, 2016 at 12:03 am (Edit)

    You would think…Parks and Recreation can provide safer, more appealing, adequate and more modern facilities for these events…as much money as we spend each year!
    Really…unstocked unsanitary, inadequate PORT O POTTIES, uneven dangerous walk areas with large rocks and uneven surfaces, muddy rodent infested empty undeveloped areas for parking, unsafe falling apart buildings and shelters with sharp and rough edges, bleachers/benches unstable, no hand rails, no lit up or well marked exit and walkway areas.
    If it weren’t for the kids and the good memories made here year after year…I wouldn’t bother to return. But its tradition…so I make the best of it. But something does have to be done to preserve the tradition and the nostalgia of the events that take place here…because some day…I’d like my great great grandchildren to experience this tradition…just as my grand parents tell me of what is used to be like.

    Will the NN Fair Parade be LIVE STREAMED this year?

    Enough portable toilets for the public? You don’t end up walking miles in a circle trying to find one. Always a problem. Seems like it’s never in the plan. Also a map of the grounds posted everywhere,

  22. Disappointed Parent says:
    September 1, 2016 at 10:29 am (Edit)

    I’m pretty upset with the organizing of the events and placing the Pow Wow during the week! We have children who look forward to this and they have school to attend! Whoever masterminded this must not have children!! We’re no longer going to thus Pow Wow since they’ve decided not to keep the children in mind!!! Very disappointed!!!!!!
