Labor Day Weekend marked the 21st annual Cottonwood Fesitval of Alamogordo, NM. Believe it or not I can't find much information to share with you about this HUGE event! You'd think with a town as big as this (Population 35,757) there would be info all over the internet! I kid.
Anyway, the Cottonwood Festival is where we were this Labor Day. We walked through the booths of local crafts. I think we saw Miss New Mexico. We saw some local seniors dance. We saw a lot of dogs. We sampled food and we even saw a few kids, um, lose their lunch.
One of the yummy foods we sampled were the Twisted Taters.
AKA Ribbon Fries or
Big Ropin' Taters.
{Is it a fry? Or a chip? I don't know, but it's pretty darned good!}
There was BBQ everywhere.
{My favorite here is actually their berry cobbler. Oh yum!}
As gross as this trailer looks, you know we had to try it!
Mike had a burrito - too spicy for me.
The FUNnel cake with powdered sugar and caramel sauce was delicious...though a BIT greasy!
The Fried Snickers bar was my favorite!
Here's a look at the carnival.
Crazy boy decided he wanted to ride THIS.
Can you believe my kids have never been to a carnival or fair? At least, not that they remember. We really need to get out more!
What a fun family time!
