Saturday ramblings

…covering yesterday, today & tomorrow, here (#Mountainair ) & there. If that does not cover bases, nothing will. Yesterday, in the figurative sense, is the past, Jubilee. The short version, which may or may not get fleshed out: last Saturday was Jubilee's 37th iteration, making it the longest running local event. High points: Parade, Salinas Car Show, Maurauders' Mud Bog.... and rain. 

File the July 4 Outlaw BBQ Poker Tournament under "yesterday" too even if don't have much in the way of details  or any pictures. Word is that turn out was up from last year, costumes were a hit, ditto teacher run Pie and Cake contests and everybody had a good time. 

Parade albums on view at Mountainair Farm & Garden Market, here and here, plus visiting candidate Janice Arnold Jones' album. Shown here, prize winning & popular float from local business, Ruthie's Flowers & Gifts.
