For thousands of years humans have had a love affair with the horse. Everyone from the farmer to the city person will stop and watch a horse. We may not even know that we have stopped. The beauty of a horse is undeniable.
The Hunter, Jumper, Dressage show at the Sheriff Posse grounds proves this. With horses trotting and jumping with a natural grace some of us can only wish for. These animals and their owners show us once again the beauty in the creation of the horse.

The day is quite and we are all going about our business when all of the sudden a siren goes off, the sound of a Police car racing through the streets. For anyone who knows a police officer this is something that makes you hold your breath and pray. For all of those who did not come back from the call of duty. We honor you.
Carlsbad Police Department Memorial ceremonies were held with honor, tradition and dignity. Please join us in remembering through the images that follow.

Welcome Home 920th Engineers

Submitted by Nikonlady on Śro, 05/12/2010 - 4:15pm

One year ago the day started with tears of goodbye, sadness and promises of “I will come home”. On May 11th 2010 that day finally ended with tears of joy, love and promises kept.

Carlsbad came together and welcomed home the 920th Engineers Division.

Bikers gathered to lead them in, high school bands prepped for the welcome. People lined the street and flags fluttered. The street was adorned with ribbons and balloons.

Relay For Life 2010

The day dawned cloudy and windy but spirits were high. At the Beach band shell all was quiet throughout the morning. As Lunch approached you could see that there was something starting to happen. That was when a swarm of people and a flurry of activity hit. There were tents, table, hammers, stakes, banners and decorations being thrown around in the wind as the people of Carlsbad started to prepare. What could they be preparing for in wind like this you might ask. The 12th Annual Relay for Life. For those who lost the fight against Cancer and for those still fighting, the people of Carlsbad came together once again and raised money, nurtured friendship and walked. In Memory and in honor. With an abundance of love and tears.
