Last year at the Fair I purchased an item from a vendor Jeanette Ferrara with the understanding she would mail it to me. She did not mail the item nor did she return my cash payment. When I tried to contact her with the telephone on her card the number no longer was hers, and there was no other listing. Be aware of purchases at the Fair.

I grew up in Arizona, and annual field trips to the Heard Museum were part of my rite of passage. I thought everyone was familiar with Navajo art and Zuni jewelry. Now that I am adult, I realize just how fortunate I am to have experienced the rich heritage of the Heard Museum. If you haven't been to the Heard Museum lately, July and August are great times to visit, since there are special programs especially designed for school-deprived kids. This place is better than ever; it has actually improved with age...truly an Arizona treasure!

INTERESTING ARTIFACTS, EXHIBITS, AND FRIENDLY STAFF. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
