New Mexico Septembers are wonderful - roasting green chile scent wafts through the air, hot air balloons dot the morning skies, and, the New Mexico State Fair begins. And, with the State Fair comes the State Fair parade - it went down today. The parade traveled east, from the intersection of Louisiana and Central, towards Eubank and Central. This year's parade was rich - full of colorful floats and people - just the way we like our parades in the Land of Enchantment.
Here you go, Burqueños. The 2015 parade participants.
