It’s short notice, we know, but if you are in South Florida and can get there, you may find the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s 9th Annual American Indian Arts Festival worth a visit. It opened yesterday and continues through Sunday, November 12 at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. The hours are 10 AM to 5 PM. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for Seniors (55 or older) and kids (6 to 12 years) Youngsters under 6 are free.
Principal access to Big Cypress Reservation is via Rattlesnake Road, which runs north from I-75 (Alligator Alley) at the Miccosukkee exit west of Fort Lauderdale. For more information and alternate directions, call 863-902-1113.
Incidentally, the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum is worth a day trip in its own right. It is quite informative and very well done. This show is held every year around this time so you might want to put a tag on your calendar to start looking for it in October next year. We also will try to be more attentive and timely for the 10th annual event in 2007.
