A SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THE 2015 NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR. TOTAL ATTENDANCE CAME IN AT JUST OVER 460-THOUSAND PEOPLE. ABOUT 2-THOUSAND MORE THAN LAST YEAR. IT INCLUDES THOSE WHO PAID AND OTHERS, SUCH AS VENDORS, WHO DO NOT HAVE TO PAY. FAIR MANAGER DAN MOURNING SAYS THE NEW MIDWAY ALSO PROVED TO BE A BIG DRAW FOR GUESTS AT THE FAIR.
ALTHOUGH ACTUAL PAID ATTENDANCE WAS LOWER THAN LAST YEAR, MOURNING SAYS IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS YEAR’S FAIR WAS A DAY SHORTER THAN THE 2014 EVENT.
