Letter from the President...

Hello, fellow fair followers! We’re honored to have you as a guest of the greatest, oldest Fair in New Mexico - the Eastern New Mexico State Fair. We are proud to serve 16 counties in the great state of New Mexico. We must be doing something right as new counties petition to be included each year.

You won’t recognize “Chile Row” this year with its new/old transformation. We’ve gone back in time and restored some of Roswell’s historical buildings - come travel back in time with us as you stroll down Roswell’s Main Street of yore.

The exciting Fair week begins on Monday, October 3rd with the largest parade in all of New Mexico. Then, cruise on out to the fairgounds and fill your day with wonderful food, an outstanding carnival with gyrating rides, free entertainment - both national and local in flavor. We have scheduled hourly events every night at our entertainment stages, Bob Crosby Arena and daily Junior Livestock Shows. There’s truly something for everyone - educational booths, a commercial building over flowing with wheeling and dealing businesses displaying their latest products, and an arts and crafts building filled with incredible talent. Of course, you won’t want to miss the culmination of the youth’s year long, hard work with the Junior Livestock Sale Saturday morning on the 8th. The best-of-the-best will sell their animals to the highest bidder - it’s a rollin’ good time! Check the Roswell Daily Record for our daily schedule of events.

Our theme this year is “From Wagon Wheels to Ferris Wheels.” Come join us as we cherish our history and celebrate our bright future.

See you there!

Larry Hobson
President
