make sure you visit each area too.
Main street with different themes each day start with the BAT mobile by APD, then lots of shiny cars. heres a list of all the themes https://statefair.exponm.com/p/things-to-do/mainstreet

I personally like Street Drum Corps (I saw them on Main street), Duck races, and the Sling Shot Thrill Ride that shoots you 240 feet in the air at speeds at almost 100 miles per hour, this ride may not be for everybody. if you need more information go here:  link to NM State Fair general info
