Part of the tour was to view some of the more earthly aspects of Roswell. Mary made the point of Roswell being a "lucky city" in two ways. First, 9 people got together and bought a ticket to a multistate lottery and won - each coming away with multi millions of dollars. Secondly the recent winner of the Kentucky Derby - Mine That Bird - comes from Roswell. Saying he was a long shot is a gross understatement. Mine That Bird was purchased from Canada for $9,000 and went on to win $1.5 million dollars. He wasn't even entered in the race, but was allowed in as a last minute replacement.
This photo is of the entryway of one of the owners' of Mine That Bird's ranch - appropriately named Bueno Suero Equine (Good luck horses).
I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Roswell. Mary has one of those personalities that makes her the perfect tour guide - bright, charming, witty, and eternally patient. You can tell that she loves her city. Here is her contact info - (575) 637-9282 or amazingroswelltours.com .
