“it’s fair season on the rez.  each region on the reservation has a fair with parades, marching bands, carnaval rides and of course, rodeos.  this coming weekend the western agency fair will begin in tuba city.  my friend, austin mix (who is distantly related to fabled cowboy tom mix), has a roping area he calls the roping zone.  western agency the rodeos start friday.  here’s my contribution to his announcer’s stand.”...
