Evelyn Bruder’s Dream Team blog

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 [...]

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 [...]

Over the course of the last five years, the government of New Mexico has been working hard to draw attention to the growing film and television opportunities in our state. Incredible tax breaks and incentives, new sound stages, and a sprawling landscape that encompasses almost every side of nature are just a few of the [...]

After a particularly hot and muggy couple of days, my husband and I decided to take a fun day trip to Silver City, NM, a quaint community of about 12,000 nestled in an exceptional place somewhere between the mountains and the desert. Silver City possesses all the benefits of a true small town; the traffic [...]

I had an errand to do today that took me downtown. Being a Real Estate Agent, I thought that I would take a few minutes to visit some sights and neighborhoods in the area. “A busman’s holiday” (That’s for those of you old enough to remember that expression.) I’ve lived in Las Cruces for 35 [...]

This past weekend, March 14th & 15th, 2009, The New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum presented: Cowboy Days. There are some things in Las Cruces children of every age have to go to. For just $2 each, Evelyn, Murray, Ron, Pearie, and the children Veronica 7, Michael 4, and even 2 year old Max [...]
