By David Grieder STAFF WRITER [email protected] If you have back-to-school shopping to do in volume, this is probably a good weekend for it in New Mexico. If you favor serenity over some savings and calm over crowds, this might be a good one to stay in. That’s because it’s the state’s annual “tax holiday” weekend, starting Friday and con- tinuing to the stroke of midnight Sunday. The stream of shoppers with laden carts picked up pace early evening as the business week began to close; it’s expected to peak on Saturday, as retailers ready their staff and shelves, roll out additional discounts and extend their hours. “It’s going to be even crazier tomorrow,” Wal-Mart employee Sandra Salas told The News on Friday. “We’re just trying to get everything stocked.” Carrie Chambers, another employee there, added: “I can guarantee you — Saturday, Sunday, it’s going to be slamming.” Valerie Snipes said she started her day Staff Photo: Jamie Cushman buying boots in Portales; as an employee of House Municipal Schools and a mother, it’s Emma Mender, 2, tries to beat the heat with a taste of water at the Clovis Splash Park on Friday. The hot temperatures are expected to continue today with a high of 94 degrees for the second day in a row, according to Accuweather.
