2025 NM State Fair

The 2025 Expo New Mexico State Fair is over. The Albuquerque Coin Club thanks everyone who came by our table in the Creative Arts Building. We especially thank our volunteers who represented our club well.

The display competition was fierce, and the ACC is proud to announce our ribbon winners.
