WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2002 A site being proposed for the future Shiprock Navajo Nation fair grounds is radioactive, The Farmington Daily-Times reports. Charley P. Joe, a fair board official and local Navajo government representative, said the site was used for uranium mining. At the very least, it has to be cleaned up, he said. However, Shiprock chapter president Duane "Chili" Yazzie said the new fair site is far from a reality. He said it would be five to 10 years before work began. The Shiprock fair is a popular event in the Four Corners area of New Mexico. But the fair board members are being targeted for removal. Get the Story:
