Mora celebrates a fiesta the last weekend of July.
A normally quiet, depressed town came to life today, the day that I decided to make a trash run with a 'quick' trip to the post office, grocery store and the dollar store. Ha!
Traffic was backed up for a mile and the grocery store was closed.
We did miss the parade, but the holiday atmosphere was unmistakeable. So, when was the last time that you saw a booth that offered ring toss? Dime pitch? ( inflation on the penny toss). There were knives, t-shirts, hats, jewelry, food, campers, trailers, families, motorcycles, pedestrians and horses.
They were headed to the rodeo grounds. It was a big event. A some point there was a queen crowned, but we missed that, too. 👑
Happy to be back home, I had a surprise visit from an Amarillo friend who was visiting a neighbor here. It was so good to see Shirley Karr!
