Cowboy Days,Las Cruces Farm & Ranch Museum March 13 -14
As I stop to take a look at our amazing organ mountains, I know that whoever coined the saying “ride ‘em cowboy” undoubtedly came from our very own southwestern history; the same history that is being celebrated this weekend at an annual event known as “Cowboy Days”. This is the 12th annual celebration of our heritage and promises to be the best ever.
One of the reasons why this event interests me specifically, is because, as a real estate agent, I’ve found that these kinds of events tie together not just individual families, but entire communities. They really play a vital role in all of our successes.
It’s only at this type of event that you’ll be able to find not only a warm mouth-watering breakfast followed by a days worth of events, but also enjoy live entertainment, including that of John Arthur Martinez, a true Latin country artist with a knack for creating musical masterpieces. This is most definitely the best opportunity this week to not only see history come alive, but also take part in uniting our community.
Some of the highlights of the event include a roping contest from 10AM to 2PM, cowboy stories and poetry readings, a plant and tree sale, horseback, and even stagecoach rides. Of all the great events however, one I’m specifically looking forward to enjoying is the Western Arts and Crafts Show. I’m excited to see what pieces our local artists are going to display. Even at regular weekly events such as the farmers market, Las Cruces is known for both its traditional and contemporary arts.
Taking all of this into consideration, one of the more powerful aspects of this event is how little of a strain it will take on your wallet. At a price of just $4 (minus the breakfast of course) this is something that’s sure to be a huge hit with families. The location chosen for such a lively event will be none other than our very own Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, from 10am to 5pm, on Saturday and Sunday March 13-14th. 
It is a great for both adults and children to see what life was like in the 1800′s, and to appreciate that things might not have changed as much as you think since the the days that cowboys road our wide open spaces
The Farm and Ranch Museum is located at 4100 Dripping Springs Road, just a ways shy of A Mountain. For a complete list of all the events as well as more details be sure to check out the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum website or give them a call at (575) 522-4100.
