Our One Thing….
We are obsessed with making this newsletter your favorite go-to resource for local events and happenings in Las Cruces.
Whenever you are looking for something to do with family or friends just look over our most recent newsletter for ideas.
Sections make it easy to scan to find what you are looking for. Sometimes events could go in more than one section so we choose the main one or add it to both. So it’s a good idea to scan each section.
We try to keep each event brief but give you just enough information to help you make a decision. Clicking the highlighted links will take you to the event for more detailed and updated information.
Suggestions or Ideas….
Let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas that will make the newsletter better. You can do that by simply replying to the newsletter.
Sharing is Caring….
If you are enjoying our free newsletter the best way that you can help us is by sharing it. Do you know anyone who might enjoy it also?
The Beatles Tribute at NMSU this Sunday….
Well.. at least it’s a Beatles Tribute to 1964. But you might think it was actually the Beatles according to Alistair Taylor Former President of Apple Records who said:
"The Resemblance was uncanny, it sent shivers down my spine. It was just like the boys. Never have I seen another group go to such detail"
Re-live the sixties and those wonderful memories associated with the music of the Beatles. Tickets and Info
Your Pets and July the 4th…
Get your pets microchip checked to make sure your contact information is up to date. Get a new dog tag with your contact info and the dogs name. Keep your pets inside so they won’t get loose and run away. Happy 4th of July. Enjoy!
Burlington Coat Factory Opens in El Paso….
This next Friday June 28th Burlington Coat Factory opens a New Store in West El Paso. I know you need to go shopping so it’s approved you can go to the new opening. 🙂 More Info
