Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}}

I’ve got quite a week lined up for you, Las Cruces—from honoring our veterans at Mesilla’s Veterans Day Observance to sleuthing over supper at The Great Gatsby Murder Mystery Dinner and enjoying a grown-ups’ night out at Moonlight at the Museums, your couch has some serious competition.

Plus so much more. We love sharing the best local events that make Las Cruces Special! 😃 I was a little late publishing this morning because I just kept finding events that I wanted to share with you!
