\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOn behalf of the Krewe of Tucumcari, I am writing to express our thanks and appreciation for the professionalism and great performance at our 76th Annual Tableau Ball! From the initial contact with you to the last minute tweaks just before show time, the entire process was smooth, and was a big WOW! to our unexpecting members and guests! The on-site crew were extremely helpful working with our stage designer, safety officials and Royal Court. They ensured we had a safe, spectacular and flawless show! One long time krewe member said in his 50 years of attending our Balls, this was the #1 BEST EVER! We are thankful the Alford family covered the costs for these special effects - they have raised the bar for our future Royalty! If any future theme(s) require your services and it's in the budget of the Royals, AFX Pro will be my recommendation!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
