President's Letter


                                        Dear Roswell Chamber of Commerce Members,

                                        October brings us to one of the busiest times of the year in our
                                        community, Fair Time! From parade, to concerts, to rides and animals,
                                        fair week has brought our community together for more than a century.

                                        The Eastern New Mexico State Fair brings thousands of visitors from all
                                        over the state to participate in what is often the most generous livestock
                                        sale in the whole state. Competition is fierce, but friendships among the
        Shawna Perry | PRESIDENT
                                        “show” families are often multi-generational. The theme of this year’s fair,
        Our Roots Run Deep and True, speaks volumes about our home.

        How blessed we are to live in a community that values our history, our youth and the industries that
        provide jobs that drive our economy. The fair is so much more than just a good time. I encourage all
        of you, our wonderful members, to not just drink seven-dollar lemonades at the fair, but drink in the
        culture, the diversity, the history and the hope that is embodied by our fair. It is one of the many great

        things in our community about which we can all be proud!

        Sincerely,





        Shawna Perry  |  Board President, Roswell Chamber of Commerce
