Albuquerque Fairgrounds — Local services in Albuquerque

We went to the state fair in September and I have to put in my two cents of what I thought. I was disappointed that the fair was not as intense as a state fair should be. We went to a taco stand because we like tacos however this place that claimed to sell tacos sold us cold flour tortilla with ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese. In other words, this was not a traditional taco this was a white people taco. I don't know what other term to use to explain it. I felt catfished. I though they were authentic tacos. That was a nightmare because no one ate and they were highly expensive. I paid over $50.00 dollars for tacos and drinks. Anyways, I didnt hear any music tribute bands .

I went to the fair today to do some volunteer work. I got there at 1pm and the fair was slow all day untill around 5pm then everything got pumping. It was great to see everyone happy again. The sights, sounds and smells told me it was gonna be a fun Friday. I bought a turkey leg ($16) and a slice of pecan pie ($6). It was getting busy everywhere. I parked in the free parking and it was full and there was around 200 people waiting in line to get in. They are checking that you have your two covid shots card so have it ready. I finally left at 7:30pm. Have fun everyone at the 2021 NM...
