According to Tighe Burg, co-owner of Recreation Works in Bayard, who organized what she hopes will become an annual event, 50 entries had signed up to participate in the Anything-But-a-Car Show. They included a few bicycles, several motorcycles, a lot of ATVs, and a couple of custom off-road vehicles.
Not only vehicles took part, but several food vendors had food for sale. They included The Mint Chip, where this photographer was so busy buying an ice cream, she forgot to take a photo of the light green Mint Chip Truck. Other vendors had jewelry and Made in Mexico items including chili powder and ceramic items from The Pink Store in downtown Silver City. A couple of booths gave out information, including The Christian Motorcyclists Association, a worldwide organization supporting Christian riders.
And music by DJ Define filled the air and brought out some boys to dance to the beat.
