Beginning with the Emergence stories of the Pueblos, visitors are led through a brief history and background of what now comprise the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico. Each time period is exhibited with relevant material objects from our permanent collection, and supplemented by objects on loan from other institutions. The contemporary arts and crafts section features a sizeable and noteworthy collection of artists from each of the 19 Pueblos. Each window displays the particular art forms characteristic to each of the 19 Pueblos. We are currently in the process of renovating our contemporary arts and crafts section. The mini-theatre located near our permanent exhibit features short films about the life and art forms of two distinguished Pueblo women. One is titled, Maria: Native American Pottery Maker of San Ildefonso, and is about Maria Martinez, renowned potter from the Pueblo of San Ildefonso.

Senior deals starting at Only 50 years Old

As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently,I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and 
charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that
seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)

Being near that age myself, I figured I might as well ask about discounts too.
this incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50 .
This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.

Dunkin Donuts gives free coffee to people over 55 .
If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it for FREE.

2013 Fall Festival and Mini Maze

2013 Fall Festival and Mini Maze

sustain-day
It’s fall again, and time for the Rio Grande Community Farm’s 2013 Fall Festival & Mini-Maze! We’ve got all sorts of fun lined up, so be sure to attend each event and get in on all the action. From pumpkin games and activities and getting dirty on the farm, you name it- we’ve got it!
Due to the drought of the past few years, we haven’t had water from the acequia to irrigate our corn this year, and the maze is going to be a little patchy and shorter than in years past. Nonetheless, during all Fall Festival events, visitors are welcome to explore and get lost in the maze as part of the fun.

Sustainability Day & Drought Resistance on the Farm

Saturday, October 5th (from noon to 5 p.m.)

Come out to learn about how farms like ours handle the drought, and enjoy a number of activities centered on sustainable living! Demonstrations and activities include backyard farming/gardening, renewable energy demonstrations, foraging and wilderness education, arts and crafts, and many more. Learn More
Admission donations are $5 a person – Location Map   Maize Maze  address:

Though you are welcome to stay for just a short visit, many will stay for most of the day. There are many activities to choose from, lots to eat, & places to shop. Kids have an especially tough time leaving.
After pumpkins are picked from the field, they are measured & priced individually. Prices range from $2-10.
