We will be parking at the Albuquerque Barber College again this year at the north end of the lot at San Pedro and Roma, just south of the McDonald’s. The lot is directly across from Gate 6 on San Pedro. You MUST display a parking pass on your car dash board as the owner is quite serious about towing any unauthorized cars! We will have 13 parking spaces available to us from 8 am to 6 pm. (If anyone wants to stay to see the fair after Sheep to Shawl closes, you can pay $5 to keep your parking space till the fair closes. There should be someone in the lot to take your money.) We need to walk across San Pedro to Gate 6. (There is a barrier on San Pedro, to keep cars traveling south from turning into Gate 6, that allows for a “rest and safety” stop while getting across which has worked well for most of us most of the time but be prepared to walk a greater distance if a policeman is present and insists upon your crossing at a proper cross walk!) We are still being given permission to drive in Gate 6 to drop off equipment before parking across the street. If you prefer to park at Gate 8 (off Louisiana at the infield of the racetrack, which some feel is more convenient to the Creative Arts Building), make that request to Janislee as soon as possible. For those of you with handicapped parking placards you are allowed to enter Gate 6 and park without having a Gate 6 parking pass. (You MUST show an admission pass.) Some attendants are not correctly informed about this. Be persistent. If you are turned away we will report it to the State Fair coordinator. You MUST however, park ONLY at a designated handicapped parking space. If you are having difficulty, call the number listed on page 1 and someone will come out and try to help. REMEMBER you can only access Gate 6 when driving north on San Pedro - there are no left turns allowed while driving south.

We will walk in at Gate 6. You MUST have an admission pass as they do not accept cash at Gate 6. It is always a help to us if you can possibly work an entire day since it saves on admission costs and parking= space coordination, but we know that is not always possible. We certainly encourage half-day shifts if that is what is best for you. The half-day shifts are from 9:30 to 1:30 and 1:30 to 5:30. Some morning volunteers may need to leave by 1:15 if there is a parking space shortage in the afternoon which will allow enough time to get packed up and walk to their car before the afternoon volunteers arrive looking for an open space. Morning volunteers should check with the Manager of the Day to see what time they need to leave and also if a later departure time is an option for those who want to visit the Fair after their shift.
