(Long) Weekend Plans…

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer and we’re definitely here for that.

Our Santa Fe Summer Guide is out on newsstands (and online) this week.

For most readers, this weekend has a bonus day (aka Memorial Day on Monday) so we’re including a few extra events to keep you busy – starting with the Memorial Day event at the Santa Fe National Cemetery Monday at noon and the annual free concert in the park in the afternoon.

We need to talk… Local government junkies (or just readers with a gripe) take note. The mayor is taking one-on-one meetings with Santa Feans tomorrow from 1-4:20 (that timing is probably not coincidental after a full day of meeting with angry constituents). Get on the calendar here.
