Saturday brought folks to Gough Park in Silver City for the Mimbres Region Arts Council Pickamania! 2014 version. Although the day started out chilly and blustery, people kept pouring into the park as it warmed up. The music played on through clouds and sun. The smells of cooking food enticed people to chow down, and plenty of vendors offered their wares.
