Well, not really, but close. You may recognize Rick Hilsabeck as an oil painter who participates in the Abiquiú Studio Tour, but did you know that he also was a highly successful professional singer, dancer and actor on the Broadway Stage? He and his wife Sarah Pfisterer toured for many years in the first national tour of The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with Rick in the role of the Phantom and Sarah as Christine.

In which I am left stranded
I am my own man. You can’t pin me down to any one taste, or any single allegiance. Like Neil Young said, “I don’t sing for nobody.” Because he is always right and I agree with everything he does, I believe in staying true to myself and only myself. Read More

El Rito Arts Festival is Here!Please visit us May 18 & 19 for the 2024 El Rito Arts Festival!
The El Rito Studio Tour was formed 36 years ago to put on a tour of local artists' studios. Over the years the event has grown into a fully-fledged arts festival which includes not just the Studio Tour, but also a Community Artist Mercado. The Community Mercado at the historic El Rito Campus of Northern New Mexico College welcomes over 30 local artists and artisans joined by a wide variety of food vendors and live music. Free, fun activities for kids and families will be presented by both Northern Youth Project and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum's Art to G.O. Creative Studio. This year's Studio Tour features 13 artists as well as the U. S. Forest Service, the El Rito Library, with quilts sewn by their devoted group, Chocolate Chocolate extravaganza and San Juan Nepomuceno Church, which houses retablos by Marie Romero Cash. Further information, and a map of artists' studios on tour, can be found on our website at: elritoartassociation.org. Or click here for the Map Medio Fire Update - Crews Contain Medio Fire, Prepare for Prescribed FireTaos, N.M., May 16, 2024— After assessing strategies for the Medio Fire, Carson National Forest fire managers decided to have crews fully contain it. The decision was based on numerous factors, including the fire’s location near the national forest boundary and prioritizing plans for prescribed fire in the nearby Montoya Unit.
The Medio Fire was caused by lightning and first reported on May 13. The fire crept on the forest floor, consuming fuels like pine needles, brush and fallen branches over a quarter-acre. Crews fully contained it yesterday. “Every fire receives a risk-based strategy,” said District Ranger Angie Krall. “When the conditions and circumstances are right, we might use a fire with similar behavior in the future to benefit forest health before containing flames.” Ponderosa pine stands are fire dependent and need it—frequently at low intensities—to maintain ecosystem functions. While the Medio Fire is adjacent to the Canjilon Wildland Urban Interface Project area, Krall and fire managers opted to focus on the planned 899-acre Montoya Prescribed Fire, which could start as early as Friday, May 17 to the east of Canjilon, N.M. To reduce the risk from wildfire, Forest Service staff and partners have invested over $10 million in forest restoration in the area since 2011. Many adjacent private landowners, with the assistance of the state, are contributing by thinning and applying prescribed fire on their own properties. The public can receive updates on the Montoya Prescribed Fire on InciWeb. Saturday, JUNE 1st, 5pm-7pm Andrea Moore returns with a new performance, in which, we will coordinate a train ‘dining car’ dinner. Tickets ($50) will be available May 20th at owlpeakfarm.com/tickets.
The event will take place in the Sala- there are very limited places at the table- save the date and don’t hesitate. 480 HWY 111, La Madera The Long Way Round: Performance Poetry & Storytelling with Andrea Moore Andrea performs a one-woman play (approx. 45 minutes) that tells the story of a cross-country train trip from Denver to Eugene, Oregon. In addition to sharing vignettes of encounters she has with other travelers on the train, Andrea "departs" from the train in her mind and shares other stories that are thematically related as the journey goes along. Sometimes the work feels like poetry, and sometimes storytelling or theater.”

NOTE: lodging onsite is booked separately and includes 2 breakfasts, 1 dinner Saturday, Rio Arriba County depends on groundwater for everyday uses such as drinking, bathing, washing clothes and cleaning. This is true whether we have a domestic well or are connected to a mutual domestic system. Groundwater is a vital community resource, yet we have very little understanding of how much we have or what the quality of this water is.
The Rio Arriba Groundwater Study aims to address key questions about our groundwater aquifers: ▪ What do these aquifers look like? ▪ How much water do they hold? ▪ What is the quality of this water? ▪ Is groundwater being replenished (recharged)? The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, Aquifer Mapping Program, has been conducting a study of the aquifers in Rio Arriba County. Public meetings to discuss the initial results of the study will be held on the following dates and times. Chama Valley Monday June 03, 2024 5:00-7:00pm at the Village of Chama Abiquiu, Mendanales and El Rito Tuesday June 04, 2024 5:00-7:00pm at the NMSU Extension Office at the Rural Events Center Dixon and Embudo Wednesday June 05, 2024 5:00-7:00pm at the Embudo Valley Library The final report will be published in July 2024 and will be available at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology website at geoinfo.nmt.edu. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their wells for this study! Questions contact Jessica Johnston at 575-770-8585 Northern Youth Project News

The Locals’ Picks Book List

Zach Hively
Casa Urraca Press has created a place for locals in our area to recommend books to each other, and a place to find book suggestions with a personal touch.
This week, Zach recommends A Fistful of Fig Newtons, by Jean Shepherd: "Okay, humor is a tough business. Shepherd's writing takes me a moment to settle in with each story. But once I do, man, I am along for the ride, whether it's pulling kitchen duty as a GI or weathering an oppressive Indiana summer on the day of the great ice cream price wars. I wasn't alive during the times Shepherd writes about (loosely, I think it's the 1930s and '40s), but the stories of youth and family feel timeless. Plus, he genuinely is a funny, funny writer."

Let 9lb 2yo Peach be your peach - she goes home spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and we are open to walk-in adopters Monday-Saturday 11am-4:30pm.
