Good Morning Las Cruces!

Something special is happening TODAY at the Mesilla Valley Mall! 🎉

The 1st Las Cruces Consumer Product Summit is here — and this isn't just another event. It's a real moment for our local makers, entrepreneurs, and product creators to connect, level up, and grow right here in Las Cruces.

Here's what's going down:

The main summit kicks off at 1 pm and goes until 4 pm — that's where the magic happens.

But here's the thing: you can arrive early! The Vendors Market opens at 11 am and stays open all day (until 4 pm), so you can browse, discover, and support local before the official program starts.

Plus, the Food Truck Festival runs from 11 am to 2 pm — because what's a celebration without food?

Come early, stay late, and be part of something that's building our community's entrepreneurial future. ❤️ Plus there is a 🎉 Networking Social (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
