On a cool, overcast Saturday, Gough Park filled with people, who attended to enjoy the music of nationally known blues artists. The annual event, hosted by Mimbres Regional Arts Council, draws blues fans from the region and from far and wide.
The event on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday, May 25-27, featured booths, children’s activities, food truck row, and of course, the music.
