WOW!!  What a day!!!!!!   With temperatures hitting over 100 degrees with so many things to do and so many places to see, it was immenient that fun would be followed by dehydration?   It seems like I barely got out of bed and started running around to see all the festivities that were about to happen.  I can only say, thank goodness for my volunteer assistant, Kathy Alonzo, who provided an invaluable insight to the Roswell Community in which she has resided for over  20 years. She was very instrumental in my organization . . . she wrote this paragraph by the way!   Unless otherwise noted, all pictures are ones I have taken, and those with me in them are of course those which Kathy has taken!

UPDATE NOTE:  I am told I am limited to only 10 photos per article . . .makes it tough when I took over 2,000 pictures . . . so some earlier pictures were deleated or put into the slideshow!

Everyone is arriving!  Is that really Hank William's truck behind that alien's BMW?  Could Hank be an alien as well? Everyone is here!
