Crow Fair.

Our first real day in Montana Rita, Jason, his cousin Gini, and I went to the Crow fair. It is on the Crow indian reservation. They have a parade in the morning and a sort of flea market to buy things at, and later in the day they have a rodeo and then a pow-wow. Unfortunately we didn't get to go to the pow-wow or the rodeo but we did get to go to the parade in the morning.
Rita's sister was in town and had a few friends who were crow, so we got to go to their campground and watch/help them get ready for the parade. There were real teepees everywhere! It was incredible. Most of the people stayed there an entire week. They had people from all over the country and even world there to experience it.
Almost everyone in the parade rode horses. Those who didn't ride horses rode one the back of decorated trucks and cars. One of the people we got to help get ready was riding one of the horses. The horse was stunning. It was a beautiful horse, but it's eyes were just bewildering!




We went to the flea market after the parade and looked at all of the things they were selling. I found this shirt, Jason and I loved it! It was the funniest thing!


I'll post some more pictures in a little while.
