This is a great family day for the people north of San Francisco. I live
in Cotati and have taken my children to see the dancers for the last three
years. It helps me remind them of their Choctaw heritage. My sons are
always in awe of the Aztec dancers. I always enjoy the Pomo children
dancers. Its great to see the pride in their dancing. The food is great.
The poetry is spiritual. The crafts are diverse.
Enjoy the day, Amanda
