Spring Has Sprung, Or Is/Will Be…And There’s Plenty To Do!

by John Weckerle

The first weekend of May always brings plenty of outdoor fun to the NM-Central.com area, and this year is no exception. We’ve received notice of a number of events planned for this Saturday and Sunday, including:

  • This Saturday and Sunday, May 1 & 2, Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood will hold its annual Green Energy Fair and Wind Festival.  This is a great opportunity to learn a little about renewable energy, see (and even buy) some great kites, and – of course – visit Wildlife West’s enhanced zoo.
  • High Desert Riders, a regional equestrian group, will hold their fifth annual livestock sale and flea market this Saturday, May 1, in Edgewood.  There will be opportunities to buy or sell livestock and equestrian-related items, and mini-clinics will discuss subjects associated with rabbits, goats, sheep, chickens, and horses.  For more info, see the event flier.
  • This weekend will also mark the opening of the season at the Tijeras Open Air Market on Old Route 66, featuring “exciting artists” and “exciting new crafts.”  Festivities will include music by Gene Corbin and Susan Clark (separately) on Saturday, and the Southwest String Band on Sunday.
  • Local artists and craftspeople will also be on hand in front of the Triangle Grocery in Cedar Crest.
  • According to our friends at Mountainair Announcements, a community garden meeting and workday is scheduled for this Saturday at 10 a.m. at Mojave Rose in Mountainair.  For more information, see the Mountainair Announcements article.

It certainly seems as if there will be plenty to do out in the fresh air this weekend.  Cool, but not cold, temperatures should put a spring in our steps.  Have fun out there!
