I am a New England guy. Lived there most of my life. So... I never had the opportunity to take in an authentic South or south west state fair. I was so happy to be able to catch this one.

Although I am a little disappointed with myself. I got there early in the morning when they first opened up. And they were not going to do any rodeo stuff until later in the day. And, I just couldn't hang in there the full day. I had to be on my way if I was to make it to my next motel before it got too late.

So, I did take in a proper New Mexico State fair. I just didn't get to see any rodeo stuff! Oh well, maybe another time.

For now I hope you enjoy these pictures.
