Las Cruces understood the weekend assignment.
First Friday brings gallery openings, the Fine Arts Flea Market and a Día de los Muertos celebration tonight.
Saturday, the NMSU Homecoming Parade starts at 9 am, followed by the Veterans Day Parade downtown at 11 am. Add Ag Day, tailgating and Aggie football, and “there’s nothing to do” officially has no case.
