DescriptionThe New Mexico Territorial Fair Parade going past R.P. Fox Planing Mill located at 305 West Gold Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A line of horse-drawn floats decorated patriotically travel down the road. Children and an adult dressed as a clown wilk in the street with the floats. The street is dirt with adobe businesses and a wooden boardwalk lining it with pedestrians gathered throughout. There are electric wires above. The photograph is captured from a high vantage point and mesas can be seen in the distant horizon beyond the city limits.
