This is my favorite place to shop in Red River. It's not a large store (it's not small, either),…read morebut it has so much to offer! I usually load up on gifts for friends back home. This time, I found a Vera Bradley cross-body purse in a gorgeous purple print for a purple-loving friend. Their clothing probably takes up the most area in the store. There is the most adorable area for sleepwear, and further back is the largest collection of t-shirts imaginable. A variety of ages makes up our group--3 years old to 66 years young. We can count on each and every one of us finding something in Main Street Mercantile: candy, toys, clothing, accessories, jewelry, candles, memorabilia. We all look forward to the day we shop because of this!

The rates are pretty darn reasonable and the experience is quite nice. One stop I thought was simply magical was Raton. It let me know that we're almost to CO or well on my way back west. Whether I'm jumping off to hitch a ride on the Grey Hound connector to hit the major cities, or hanging tight on the train a little longer to visit my cousin who lives near the La Junta station... Raton is a quiet town with some of the sweetest folk one can encounter. Enter "The Pack Rat" One of a few places open this past Labor Day was this great place. Browse for staple souvenirs and even amazing locally made goodies like rosaries, jewelry, crafty items, and even yummy eats. Our 2 hour delay got us patronizing and socializing at the Pack Rat. The owners were cordial and very helpful. They were very inviting and informative. Not too pushy and gave us just enough space to freely move about the establishment without feeling watched or pressured. They had a fairly large selection of dream catchers. Small to big! We snatched a howling wolf that was pretty huge for $25. A definite deal considering I got one in AZ or UT from a "native" that was the size of a half dollar for 15 bucks. They adorn the walls, so please check them out if your into them. I walked out with some snacks for the road, a habanero salsa, that catcher, and a few other trinkets. The Pack Rat is a tourist must because what's better than good people, local items, reasonable prices, and tons of souvenirs to sift through?? I was fully satisfied with the purchase I made and would love to come back again. AMTRAK, would you please consider re-opening the Raton station? Spread the word!!! I'm on a mission to save it all :)

Owner said no, only the ones with a red dot, as I pulled the card from the tray of rings that said "half off". He said there was a mistake and some of the rings were misplaced. Horse hockey!
