As the New Mexico State Fair bursts to life with the sweet smell of cotton candy, the sound of loud bells ringing as someone wins a prize at a game and the winds of breezing past rollercoasters brushing against skin, there are those within the heart of the event who often go unnoticed: fair workers, also known as carnies.

They鈥檙e the reason there are games to play. They鈥檙e the reason fairgoers can see the Albuquerque skyline from high in the sky on Ferris wheels, and they鈥檙e the reason people can enjoy a warm funnel cake.

Meet three carnies working this year鈥檚 State Fair.

Wendell Carpenter, 25

Wendell Carpenter is a New York native. Working fast food wasn鈥檛 the thrill Carpenter was looking for, and he wanted to find something more fulfilling and interesting. When he met a former carnival worker, Carpenter decided to give life on the road a go.

鈥淚 was curious to see how the state fairs got put up, and when I had the chance, I jumped on it,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 was working and doing something I didn鈥檛 want to do. I jumped on doing tear down and went to Tennessee, and now I鈥檓 here.鈥�

He鈥檚 been across the country, traveling from town to town, learning more about the world. Carpenter鈥檚 gone to Tennessee and Georgia, but New Mexico is the farthest west he鈥檚 been in his life.

Carpenter operates various rides at state fairs. He was stationed originally at the MusiK Express ride, but switched to registering ride wristbands and tickets at the New York New York Funhouse.

鈥淚 feel like I live a carny life,鈥� he said, 鈥渂ut it鈥檚 not a different lifestyle, nothing different.鈥�

Though Carpenter isn鈥檛 sure if he鈥檒l work as a carny forever, he鈥檚 enjoying the ride and seeing where it takes him.

鈥淚 prefer doing something like this over manual labor,鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檓 trying to see it through all the way to the end and see if I really like it. If I like it, I鈥檒l keep going.鈥�

Amber Rosado, 26

At 18, Amber Rosado wasn鈥檛 happy with her life. She was living in a New Jersey shelter as a high school dropout and working three jobs as she struggled to make ends meet, unsure of what to do with her life. After meeting a boy at the fair who gave her a free ride on a rollercoaster, Rosado decided to take a leap of faith and become a carny.

鈥淚 said, 鈥榊ou know what, I鈥檓 not doing nothing better,鈥欌�� she said. 鈥淚 got up, packed my bags the very next day and I went and joined the carnival, and I鈥檝e worked with carnivals for seven years now.鈥�

Rosado said she walked up to a stand and asked if she could work with the carnival and they let her do fair tear down that night.

鈥淧eople meet around 10 p.m. and get paid whatever the state鈥檚 minimum wage is and that鈥檚 how some people get into the industry,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hey realize, Wait, I can get paid to travel? And I鈥檓 not doing nothing better with my life, so might as well.鈥�

Rosado said the work is busy and the fairs travel for 10 months at a time. Typically, state fair workers go home for Thanksgiving and come back after the Super Bowl, but they have the option to leave after any fair.

The groups divide themselves in half for carnival season and all rejoin for the Tennessee state fair. During fair season, workers are assigned to different sections 鈥� rides, games or food 鈥� based on what they鈥檙e good at, and each section has a different pay scale. Currently, Rosado is at the ring the duck game, where she said she does really well.

Rosado enjoys her life on the road, bringing people joy wherever she goes.

鈥淚 like making people smile,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 like being the reason people can make a grand memory.

鈥淚 never imagined when my parent鈥檚 asked me growing up what I wanted to be 鈥� and I would say I wanted to be a firefighter or a cop or magician 鈥� I would have never thought that I would say working for the carnival.鈥�

Tomekia Harry, 46

Hailing from Louisiana, Tomekia Harry was in a bad spot in life when she was looking for a job. After experiencing a life of drugs, hardships and 13 years of prison time, all she wanted to do was provide for her family.

鈥淢y grandmother was taking care of my kids, and when I got out, my grandmother passes away,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 had to start working so I could take care of my kids.鈥�

After going to the state fair in her hometown, Harry decided to ask for a job and left with one that same day. Ten years later, she continues to bring fair fun to people across the country, traveling to 15 different states through the years.

鈥淪ince then, my life has been beautiful, nothing but beautiful,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 work hard and I make good money because I love what I do. I never would have been able to travel and go to different states if I didn鈥檛 have this job.鈥�

Harry said she continues to work as a carny because she is able to provide for her children, sending them money back home to take care of things.

鈥淢y kids have everything they want and I never have to ask my mother for help,鈥� she said. 鈥淪ometimes it鈥檚 hard to be away from family. I was just on the phone with my 5 year old, and he said, 鈥楳om, when are you coming home?鈥� And it really hurts. But if I was at home, what would I be doing?鈥�

Though Harry doesn鈥檛 think she鈥檒l stay in the business much longer, saying she only plans to stick around for another year or two, she still finds joy in her job. She currently works at the fishing pond game, which she enjoys.

鈥淚 love that the kids get to play and are able to win a prize every time no matter what,鈥� Harry said. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 like to get people for their money. I like to give them what they deserve and what they won. The kids walking away happy and smiling, that makes me joyful and gives me a smile.鈥�
