ATTENDANCE NUMBERS FOR THE NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT THE FAIR'S GENERAL MANAGER IS ENCOURAGED. THE FAIR'S 12 DAY RUN ENDED ON SUNDAY. DAN MOURNING TELLS 770 KKOB THEY HAD A GOAL OF HALF-A-MILLION FAIRGOERS…AND HE THINKS THEY MAY HAVE SUCCEEDED, BASED ON THE CROWDS HE SAW.
MOURNING SAYS THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE FAIR ON THE LAST SATURDAY OF THE EVENT THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WALK THE FAIRGROUNDS.
MOURNING SAYS ONE LONG-TIME VENDOR TOLD HIM IT WAS THE BEST YEAR THEY EVER HAD. MOURNING SAYS NEW MEXICANS COME OUT TO THE FAIR BECAUSE IT'S AFFORDABLE ENTERTAINMENT.
