State Fair revenue down

Attendance at the New Mexico State Fair was down and so was revenue. 

Unaudited figures provided by Expo New Mexico's chief financial officer indicate that revenues totaled $4.7 million during the Sept. 1-22 fair. 

According to the Abluquerque Journal,  that compares with $5.2 million during the 2012 fair. Year-to-year attendance dropped 4 percent. 

Fair manager Dan Mourning says the 2013 fair was hampered by record rainfall during the beginning of the 12-day run.
