Casa Grande Ruins, AZ… American Indian Music Fest

Howdee all,

Saturday Jeff and I went to the American Indian Music Fest at the Casa Grade Ruins National Monument We had never been to this National Monument before…

It was fun to imagine what like might have been like in the early 1300s for the Native Americans here.

The buildings that remain give an idea of the layout…If you read the plaque above you see that is was just a small part of a community…

A Neighborhood….

There was some Traditional Dancing…..and a dance where they invited guests to dance along with them…I was one chosen to dance with the ladies…I don't have a photo because the camera came with me….it was fun…

I didn't do the basket dance…but a dance where we all held hands and danced in a circle.. Jeff and I stayed for the evening performances…and the sunset..

which looked like flames at first…

And then turned a mellow pink

Setting over the monumentand the stage…

A Ranger taking a photo ..I liked the silhouette
