THIS IS THE LAST YEAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE NEW MEXICO ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIR. KOB TV REPORTS THE ANNUAL ALBUQUERQUE EVENT IS HOLDING ITS FINAL FAIR THIS WEEKEND, JUNE 22ND THROUGH THE 24TH. IT’S CLOSING BECAUSE THE NON-PROFIT THAT PUTS ON THE FAIR EVERY YEAR COULD NOT RAISE THE MONEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE FAIR GOING.
RON BEHRMANN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FAIR, SAYS THEY’VE SEEN AN 80 PERCENT REDUCTION IN FUNDING OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
