Ruidoso Art Festival

I haven't posted in a week so these are some of the things that have happened in that week.

• I turned 58 (I thought I was already 58 but I must have miscalculated)
• Played pickleball 3 days 
• Garage sales 2 days
• Walked 27 miles
• Didn't win any at casino on Monday
• Played Rummikub with Paula & Raymond 2 night (Don won both nights)
• Swept and mopped the floors today (need to dust now)
• Sanded a chest of drawers that Thena wanted me to paint for her (will paint in a day or two)
• Don trapped a skunk
• Found a new cache in Ruidoso and helped reset a cache for another cacher on Perk Trail
• Went to Ruidoso Art Festival with Paula (that's what this post will be about)

They is the view of the main road into Ruidoso from the east. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

This bear trap was next to some condos where I took the picture above of Ruidoso. They must have been having problems with a bear that was a nuisance.

Paula and I went to the Arts Festival at the Convention Center. We do this each year. I don't usually by anything because the art is so expensive, but we enjoy looking at everything.

The town of Carrizozo for the past 4 years has commissioned artist in the area to paint and decorate the Burros. Then they are sold for around $2,000. Here are a few pictures of them this year.

I love the metal cachi. These were some of the booths they had outside. First year for these. They are more affordable, I guess. The high priced stuff is inside. It started raining right after we got through these booths.

The lady with the baskets was from Ponca City. A good ole Okie!
It was raining when we left about 5:30 pm and it is still raining at 10:00 looks like it could rain all night.
