You think so???? I was SHOCKED that Ardell didn't get in there!! I was like :O

It was a good pw though....and yes, very surprised the rain held out! hahaha!

Anyone have drum contest results? or Handdrum special winners? We had to leave because I had to work monday am....


Oh and the other SHOCKER....was how they treated beans & frybread up there! hahaha! We were HUNGRY and ready to eat so we scoped out all the stands and found this one that said "Beans & Frybread"....we were sold!
So we order, mouths start watering....almost drooling at the thought, both of us couldn't wait to dip our bread in that bean juice and then BAM....gal hands us these biscuit lookin' frybreads cut in 1/2 with beans smeared on the bread!!! Our jaws dropped....i peeled my eyes away from the "sandwich" and asked "ummm...what is that?"
she said "it's a bean and frybread sandwich"
me: "That's not what i ordered, i thought we were getting beans & Frybread"
vendor: "you are, this is it"
me: "where are you guys from? I've never seen beans & Frybread treated that way"
(sorry i couldn't help it...i was shocked!) HAHAHA!
vendor: "From here, this is how we make it"
me: "Oh ok....thanks"

turned out to be pretty good......

That is how we have beans and frybread out this way. I don't like all the broth from the beans.

It's so funny traveling and how much foods with the same name are totally different.....like CORNSOUP!
