Chalo Nitka

Now the the radio station has spread all across South Florida, we get involved in all sorts of small town activities.  Today we attended Chalo Nitka - the Glades County Fair.  Chalo Nitka means "Day of the Big Bass" in the Miccosukee language, however, the fair was much more a celebration of Seminole heritage.

Caleb rode with Rob in the parade.

There were A LOT of horses!

They had no idea who this was.

Cobra!

This guy did a demonstration with venomous snakes.  Until he got to the cobras, he behaved very causally.  You could tell with the cobras that he knew a lot about snakes.  Nothing bad happened, but it seemed like a very risky show to me!  He had two rattle snakes, a water moccasin, and a coral snake.  Caleb was front and center in the audience! He seemed too close to these snakes for my comfort.

Alligator Wrestler

Seminole Fashion Show - this was very interesting!

We also saw a perfect rainbow.  It was amazing, but by the time I stopped and was ready to take a picture, the sun went behind a cloud and it was gone!
