Over 40 Native American vendors participated at the annual Eagle Wings Dance Fundraiser and after-Thanksgiving craft fair on November 26, 2022.
There was a craft fair, Indian taco sale, as well as performances by the Eagle Wings Pageant Dance Group.
All proceeds from the event will help support the dance group by providing materials for regalia, food, and travel. The dancers are Great basin cultural ambassadors who perform across the state of Nevada and they are constantly recruiting new dancers.
It went on from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony Gymnasium at 34 Reservation Road.
If you missed this one, there will be another at the same location on December 2 and 9, 2022.
