FARMINGTON The
104th Annual Northern
Navajo Nation Fair has a
larger budget this year that
officials say will be spent
on events.
The events include a
rodeo, pow wow, animal
shows and tests of

there will be a concert,
which will feature Eddy
Raven.
Were putting a lot
more money into our
events, Fair Director

Officials have nearly
$470,000 in this years fair
budget, about $100,000
more than it had last year,
Felson said.

which is at 8 a.m., is junior
