Western Commerce Bank's 50th Anniversary

Submitted by Nikonlady on Mo, 06/20/2011 - 1:35nachmittags

The year, 1961. The place, a small town in New Mexico’s Dixie. Loving New Mexico, a place that would come to be know as the First Home of the Western Commerce Bank.

This year, thanks to the vision and guts of a few people who saw a need and went out and took the risk, Western Commerce Bank celebrates 50 years of service to New Mexico.

A romantic night by the glow of the camp fire, the snap of the logs, the warmth on your face…

WAIT A MINUTE...

That is not a camp fire…

The Loop the loop the loop is on fire.

This summer has been crazy for the wildfires. We did what we could and got as close as possible so that our friends in the mid west and north can see our fires and maybe get a little warmth in their wet and cold places. We do wish though that they would send those wet and cool conditions.

Carlsbad Police and Wal-Mart Bicycle-Scooter Rodeo

Submitted by DPorter on Do, 06/16/2011 - 6:24vormittags

The sun was shining the kids were on the bikes laughing. The adults were in the shade talking. Sounds like the perfect saturday afternoon.
Now add in police, paperwork, and instructions. It changes the image to something no one wants to think about.
Fortunately for the people of carlsbad it was an instructional day for the children so that nightmare image does not happen.
Thanks to walmart and the carlsbad police the children were able to attends the bicycle-scooter rodeo. Now these children are educated in how to safety ride their bikes on the city streets.

CARLSBAD, NM – Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park celebrates its 40th anniversary on Saturday, June 11th and for this special occasion only, entrance fees are rolling back to their original price of $1.00 for visitors. Children six years old and under are free.

“This is a day of celebration for Living Desert, which has provided 40 years of service to the citizens of Carlsbad, Eddy County and the great state of New Mexico,” said Park Superintendent, Ken Britt. “The retro fee is a great way to encourage everyone to join us for this family-oriented day of fun at the zoo and to say thank you to the local community for their support over the years.”

Living Desert became a State Park in June 1971, and has evolved into a premier indoor/outdoor living museum, offering outdoor recreation and natural history education for visitors. Since 2002, Living Desert has been accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. A 1.3 mile paved trail offers a glimpse of native wildlife in natural exhibits with a zoo and botanical gardens designed to recreate the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem.

Chili Cook-off, Helicopter Rides, and Car Show 2011

Chili Cook-off

The sun shone hot on the Pecos River and the Pecos River village was even hotter. With spatulas in hand 14 cooks stood over simmering meat and spices that would make a grown man cry. All grown men not just the wimpy ones. These cooks were waiting, waiting for that moment when the first of the crowd approached in trepidation, for the one brave soul to step up and say “Here Chili Cook is my Cup for I am brave enough to try your unearthly concoction.”
For hours the cooking teams served to those brave souls. For hours the teams made those around them aware of their skills. For hours you could hear “Remember this number when you cast your ballet” Much like a political race we saw the heat and the ballots. Until what moment when finally the ballots were cast and the votes were in and we had no hanging chards.
The team to take home the gold, ok really there was no gold but they got a really cool plaque, is MOSAIC POTASH.
So until next year when the cookers and the spatulas come out again, train your pallets and test those chili and prepare for (dunt dunt dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn) CHILI COOK OFF 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
