Thanks for showing Ruidoso love and support
I was looking through the tragic but beautifully shot photos of Ruidoso by Ivan Pierre Aguirre. I painted the mailbox featured in one of the photos. The mailbox contains the symbol of New Mexico adorned with desert landscape. The Zia is bright blue to show harmony between nature and the respect New Mexico communities have for the land.
The mailbox was a Christmas gift for my grandparents. I wanted to embody what New Mexico meant to me and it was truly remarkable seeing it is still standing.
Thank you for spreading the word and showing love for a unique village that needs support.

Dismayed with Ascarate Park condition
County commissioners, City Council and mayor,
My family and I attended a Father’s Day event at Ascarate Park and were dismayed with the overall appearance of the park. Water in the lake filled with debris, areas of dead grass, basketball rims without nets and disregarded family picnic areas, among other things.
