Evelyn Bruder’s Dream Team blog

You may remember THIS BLOG in which I talked about bringing Hollywood to New Mexico, where tax incentives and cheap labor costs lure production companies to our expansive state. I have always had a positive stance on show business being in New Mexico, as it has a positive effect on our community economically and socially. [...]

Time Magazine recently wrote up an article about the first commercial space port being built just a few short hours from our city. I think that bringing national – and even international – attention to these remarkable strides in technology towards the final frontier are extremely important when it comes to our local economy and [...]

Blog by Kevin Wilson The Wilsons were out and about again this weekend! A great fare of free holiday activities was offered up to the people of Las Cruces!

Each year, the American Southwest Theater Company at New Mexico State University puts on a production during the holiday season (on top of their several other productions each year), and as of the last few years, the ASTC has switched off between the classic yuletide tale of ‘A Christmas Year’ and a different, non-holiday production.

Any Las Cruces native or resident will tell you that if there’s any football game to see, it’s Mayfield versus Las Cruces High. For nearly 30 years, the two high schools were the only secondary education schools in the city, and as a result, a deep-rooted rivalry was born. Even with the arrival of Onate [...]

Just yesterday I was informed of an upcoming event here in Las Cruces: The US Army Field Band is performing at the Las Cruces High School Gymnasium on Thursday, October 15th, at 7pm. I’ve never had the opportunity to hear the President’s Field Band perform live before, only the Marine Corps Band a few years [...]

This year is a particularly ugly flu season, and everyone seems to be getting sick. I’ve been lucky so far and a few days ago, I finally found the time to go get my flu shot. Well, I’m am so thankful I did; today, several people on our floor went home with flu-like symptoms. As [...]

You might remember this blog, in which I talked about Hollywood coming to New Mexico and what it means for our state. Today, it was very clear that Hollywood had come to Las Cruces; in fact, it closed down a major highway about a mile from my house. I remember reading about it in the [...]

This past weekend we headed out into the blazing sunshine to enjoy the Whole Enchilada Festival. As always, Las Crucens came out by the hundreds for the parade, the carnival, the shopping, and most importantly, the food. Tent after tent after tent emitted delicious scents, serving up everything from enchiladas to smoked turkey legs to [...]

Around this time every year, Las Cruces hosts a unique and tasty event: the Whole Enchilada Festival! This event is a celebration of the culture, history, and food of New Mexico, offering a range of entertainment and festivities for the whole family to enjoy. This year, the event takes place in September on Friday the [...]

It was a good morning to be from Las Cruces, NM. There were things to do and places to see. The excitement began the night before when my wife and I discussed the possibility of taking our young Daughters, Kendra (8) and Kayla (7) to White Sands National Monument for the mass ascension of the [...]

Whether you’re a football fan or not, there’s something fun and exciting about old rivalries coming together to face off. Harvard vs. Yale, Texas vs. Texas A&M, Ohio State vs. Michigan… The list goes on of famous college battles that result in big new stories and historical followings. I don’t follow sports much, except for [...]

I’m sure you have seen the countless “best places to live in America” articles on sites like MSN, Money.com, and so on. Occasionally I’ll click and read, but so often those big top ten lists overlook the fantastic, smaller cities and towns that could be the ideal location for any person or family. If you’re [...]

Las Cruces is home to New Mexico State University and its sister school, Dona Ana Branch Community College. Both of these institutions are thriving and NMSU alone hosted 17,000 students last year! The departure and arrival of these college students greatly affects our community’s population and economy; the town seems to boom come August. Last [...]
