The traffic was horrible there should have been some type of police assistance because It got out of hand with impatient people $20 to park is insane and $20 a person We didn't even step into the ferry yet and already spent $100 food prices are outrages food is awful I got a turkey leg for $25 It was overcooked and very dry funnel cake was $10 was so hard and burnt the pizza was so thin not even a fluffy pizza a lot of the animal vendors are no longer there where they had chickens and rabbits they made it into a bar which I was very disappointed the pavilion didn't really have anybody in there that was selling their products It was either big companies Indian village was a very sad site to look at with only three food vendors open and two only selling jewelry they are probably charging up the butt That's why a lot didn't come back The Midway was awful I saw the same game about eight times and charging $20 when you get to only throw three balls and you don't win nothing then New Mexico State Fair is not the same it's very disappointing and I don't think I'll be coming next year My childhood the memories and all I have this new fair the last 3 years have sucked y'all need to do better especially for the residents of New Mexico to get some type of discount You guys need to offer more things on dollar day instead...
Read moreThe state fair I always look forward to the food and to walk around this last year me and my wife couldn't even make it past security, they wouldn't let people in with wallet chains the world have bigger problems than me protecting my valuables from not getting pick pocket I couldn't understand there reasoning when ask to speak to a manager right away a unprofessional looking man walked over tattoos up and down his neck and body immediately wanted to escalate the situation and bring the sheriff's to arrest me for asking why I was being treated like this instead of being a professional which he is there for people's safety not to cause harm.
