❤️ Game Con 2026, Community Garden Planting Days, BLM Hikes

Proud Sponsor of Live Love Las Cruces

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},

I shared this event last week “Indoor Art and Craft Festival | NM Farm and Ranch Museum | 3 days”. Thanks to Katie for letting me know that this event was NOT happening. So sorry.

I found it on two ticketing websites but couldn’t verify it otherwise by 6 am publishing time. So while I was able to correct it on our website many of you went to the NM Farm & Ranch to find out it wasn’t happening. My sincerest apologies. 😥

In two years of sharing local happenings I have seen events canceled, times changed, etc. — It happens!

If I find any changes or corrections I will update our website issue so click Read Online to check. Also please let me know if you find any incorrect info about the events.

We are going to have a Meet and Greet where you can connect with your Las Cruces neighbors.

Whether you're new in town or grew up next door, it's time to get to know your neighbors, spark new friendships, crowdsource local recommendations, and dream up what we want the future of Las Cruces to look like-together!

This will be an informal gathering at Rio Grande Winery this Sunday March 29th, 2 - 4 pm. Come alone, bring a friend, but come ready to meet your Las Cruces Neighbors. There is no charge just let us know you’re coming. Sign Up Here

I’d like to introduce you to Mary Jane Carson and her welcoming space, Mary Jane’s Pilates Studio, located right here in the Las Cruces/Mesilla area.

Mary Jane began her Pilates journey to improve her own strength, flexibility, posture, and mental focus. The results were so transformative that she became certified and opened her own studio to share those same benefits with others.

At Mary Jane’s Pilates Studio, classes are intentionally small to ensure personal attention and a strong focus on correct form. Mary Jane and her team work with clients of all ages and fitness levels—from complete beginners to those with specific goals or needs.

Contact Mary Jane today to learn how Pilates can help you move better, feel stronger, and reach your personal fitness goals.
