As the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta grew, it came to rely solely on The March Company to provide the balloon pins and patches that have become coveted collectors items. The March Company will custom design any type of pin you need, be it die struck or sand-cast metal. They will also design and create an embroidered patch in any size and shape. The design staff will also work with you to create a custom piece. This creative company has provided arm patches for the Albuquerque Police Department and the US Air Force.
Being a small family business, operated from home with help from Mom and Dad as well as brothers and sisters, we used up all the space in the house and yard with offices, packing rooms, storage sheds and walk in freezers and refrigerators. In the fall of 2010 we moved into our new warehouse, with 2 huge freezers built for the frozen Chile and an area to flame roast all those chilies. That increased our operating area and allows us toexpand the product line, manufacture and distribute more quality types of Chile products under the New Mexican Connection name.

Betty Panos operates what is reportedly Old Town's oldest bead store. As its name implies, it is a place where handcrafted goods are bought and sold. Its low ceiling and dark interior are in keeping with the traditional image of a trading post. And you can almost hear the echo of history on the hardwood floors. For sale are genuine pieces of Native craft including jewelry, kachinas, fetishes, and bead work, all at exceptionally reasonable prices.
