Our annual trek to the New Mexico State Fair didn't disappoint us one bit. Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Warm weather, but not too hot. Breezy. The smells of horses and cows, deep fried concoctions and, well, that overall carnival aroma was perfect. We arrived at the opening, and had the pleasure of an almost-empty main street. By the time we left in late afternoon, the crowds were thick, and we were exhausted. A few highlights:

It's a dogpile! Pigpile! |
