Holloman AFB on the Rebound?

According to the Air Force Times, Holloman AFB is in the running for hosting one of the Air Force’s new F-16 training units! That would be provide a sorely-needed economic boost to our area.

Tularosa Wine & Art Festival

Tulie Wine & Art Festival

The Rotary Club of Tularosa has announced the schedule for their 2016 Tulie Wine & Art Festival. The event is scheduled for September 16 and 17, and will be held on Granado Street in the heart of historic Tularosa, New Mexico. We expect four or more New Mexico wineries and many vendors to be present at the Festival. There will be live music and multiple food vendors.

The Festival is the primary fund-raiser for the Tularosa Rotary Club, which puts all the profits back into the community. Over the past few years, the Tularosa Rotary has refurbished the village museum, sponsored the adoption of the Dave Ramsey financial training program in Tularosa’s high school, donated dictionaries to Tularosa and Mescalero school children, and carried out numerous other community service projects.
