Welcome to the Team! Hello everyone, my name is Timothy Gallegos and I am excited to be Rio Arriba's Extension Office Intern!

I am 19 years old and I have lived in Chama, New Mexico my whole life. I graduated from Escalante High School in 2019. I also graduated from UNM-Taos with my Associates in Liberal Arts in 2019, as well. I am currently attending New Mexico State University. I am

working towards my Bachelor's in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I will be graduating from NMSU at the end of this summer with my Associate's in Pre-Business. I enjoy arts and crafts, making music, and fishing. I was a part of the Rangers 4-H club for 10 years, and mostly competed in Indoor Exhibits' and Baking. I received many awards for the Rio Arriba County Fair, as well as the New Mexico State Fair. I am so excited to be working with my wonderful colleagues and helping out with 4-H. Hope everyone has a fun and safe summer! Go Aggies!

2020 Rio Arriba County Fair News: The Rio Arriba County Fair Association has made the difficult decision to cancel our fair due to the COVID-19 Virus. See page 2 for Message from the RACFA Board of Directors.

Congratulation Graduates!

2020 Rio Arriba County Fair News: The Rio Arriba County Fair Association has made the difficult decision to cancel our fair due to the COVID-19 Virus. We will, however, provide a platform for the youth raising livestock to sell their

animals. The extension staff is working on options for an indoor exhibit showcase later in the year and the details are being worked out. Please know that this was a very hard decision for the board as we explored many different options, however, the restrictions in place due to COVID are difficult

to overcome. Youth that have livestock and are interested in selling them, please contact the RACFA board at racfaboard@gmail.com and communicate to us which species and the number of animals you are interested in selling. We are striving to hold the livestock sale on Saturday, August 1st more details will be provided. Thank you for your support and understanding during this most

extraordinary year. To all of our local businesses and supporters we appreciate your support for the youth and look forward to coming back next year with another successful fair! We hope everyone

stays safe and healthy! Thank you. Thank you,

RACFA Board of Directors

The Rangers 4-H Club News

This year has been so unique. We have had to do things a little differently. It is so nice to see everyone

staying safe and being positive. We have all been working hard with our animal’s goats, rabbits, horses, and cows to

name some of them. We have all been working on different projects. I can say I have had lots of extra time to spend with my rabbit Shadow. We still use the computer to talk to each other. We will do our regular meetings when it is safe again.

Practicing safety is important for everyone.
