2023 NM State Fair
With the arrival of the summer heat, thoughts run to turkey legs,
fried everything, midway rides, rodeo, and shows. Of course, if you are a member of the ACC,
you are thinking of coin displays, “free money”, and letting people know how special
coin collecting is. For the 68th year, our club will man our displays at the State Fair
Creative Arts Building. We will be looking for member help to create displays and spend some time at our booth.
