1970: Sheila Garner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Garner of Farwell, had been crowned queen of the annual Border Town Days celebration in Texico-Farwell.

Reporters estimated 2,000 to 3,000 people attended the three-day celebration, which included a rodeo and parade.

Border Town Days did not take place this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
