My 08/23/25 postcard comes from the streets of Mountainair, where the spirit of the Sunflower festival shines in many ways. A family dressed head to toe in sunflower prints makes their way down Main Street, each step a little parade of color. The flowers bloomed on fabric, on hats, and on little dresses. It’s a scene that captures the joy of a small-town festival.
