❤️ Local Events January 23rd

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},

We are so excited about our new Dinner Club!

What is this Dinner Club all about. It’s actually pretty cool especially if you are new to town or just want to meet other locals.

You take a short quiz, then you are matched with 5 compatible guests, the morning of the dinner you will get notified which restaurant to meet at, enjoy meeting and sharing with new friends, during dinner you will get notified where the after party will be. Go only if you wish but you will meeting with all the guests from the other tables/restaurants. How Fun!

Just to let you know that signups close on Monday January 26th at 5:30 pm.

The City of Las Cruces held a Ribbon Cutting for the new Forged in Fire Public Art Work at Las Cruces Fire Station #6 at Northrise & Roadrunner recently and here is a video of that dedication. The artwork was created by Trevor O’Tool a Tucson based metal artist. Public art projects at Fire Station #1 and Fire Station #9 are currently under construction.

Looks like things are moving along at Farmesilla. I shared in an earlier issue that Icebox Brewing has acquired Farmesilla location and their new banner says “Farmesilla - Reimagined by Icebox”. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this location 🙂 as of now there is no official mention of what is planned. This will be their 6th location in Las Cruces after adding their Icebox 28 Brewing last year. It’s encouraging to see a local business growing and thriving.
