If you missed this 2023 season, you missed a fun and exciting weekend adventure, even in the weather, Friday had flurries for about 10 minutes, then sun, some winds, sun again.. but 1440 folks came out on this day. Saturday was sunny in the morning with the temp at 27' degrees, cold air, some winds in the afternoon, but we had about 5000 guests brave the outskirting area snow to come to the sunny Edgewood NM.
Sunday was mild, some breeze and cool, but mostly beautiful day, as we received calls asking if we cancelled the festival because it was snowing where they were.
