Scenes from the 44th Annual Red Rock Balloon Rally

On Wednesday, Nov. 5th, the City of Gallup and McKinley County unveiled a Route 66 art installation in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road. The monument is located at the George Galanis Multicultural Center on Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. Route 66 isn’t just a road; it’s a story of our history, our resilience, and our community spirit. We’re truly fortunate to be part of this history and to have the opportunity to tell our story and show how we fit into the big picture of Route 66’s legacy.
