All of us here at the Best Western Inn of Sedona would like to thank the Hopi people and the Museum of Northern Arizona for one of the best Hopi Festival of Arts and Culture yet! Some of us were able to attend the festival Saturday, and for those who missed it we highly recommend putting it on your calendar for next year.
When we first arrived at the event we were a little concerned about parking, discounted car rental myrtle beach there were cars lined up and down the road and the museum parking lot was filled, but the Museum had it under control, there was free parking across the street and a short, air conditioned shuttle ride to the event.
Before reaching the main entrance to the museum there were vendors set up offering grilled corn, Piiki bread (a ceremonial food made from blue corn), honey soaked fry bread and other culinary delights. If you are someone who has never tried fry bread let me just say it is a must (especially discounted car rental myrtle beach topped with honey and powdered sugar)!

He says, “Reggae is the music of a struggling people―that’s what Jamaican discounted car rental myrtle beach music is. We, as Native people, have been struggling discounted car rental myrtle beach all these years.”
Later in the day we were treated to the Nuvatukya’ovi Sinom Dance Group performing the Palhikwmana or Water Maiden Dance, and the Koshari, or clown dance, to unite people and make them happy.
