Three Osages took top honors in this year’s National Indian Taco Championship held Oct. 6 in downtown Pawhuska with Debra Lookout winning first place for the third consecutive year.
The Indian taco championship event, now in its eighth year, was moved to the fall season for the first time this year. In prior years, the event was held in May. This was also the first year for a competition dance held during the event and the People’s Choice award with a $1,000 prize to the contestant receiving the highest votes.
