Mimbres Region Arts Council held the 4th annual Pickamania! Festival this weekend starting Friday, September 7 at Gough Park. The cool overcast weather didn't keep fun-loving music goers from enjoying bluegrass, folk, Americana and roots-based music. Vendors, artisans and lots of good food had the public gathered at the park for the annual event.
