The Fair




The day started out rather gloomy which is very very unusual, but we were having some effects from Hurricane Odile.  We almost didn’t go to our first New Mexico State Fair but  decided to give it a go, which was a good thing. The day cleared up, and we had a great time. It was a small town state fair with bulls, rodeo cowboys, green chilie cheeseburgers, fried cheesecake and crafts galore all combined to make for a great day!  A few photos from the fair. . .



Divers free falling from 60 feet high!






For $240.00 you can get all the practice you will need  for roping a steer .... no I did not buy one

Fried cheesecake!!! OMG believe it or not was delicious... perfect fair food!



He was a bit shy ;-)

Perfect ending for a perfect day... the sun set and the mountains all a glow!

  1. State fairs are fun. We've been to the county fair here in AR, but somehow it didn't compare to the county fairs back in IL. Glad you had a good time. No wine????

  4. Your exploration into your new land continues. What a fun time and no fair is complete without fried food. I've seen fried cheesecake, but never tried it.
