We give a large shout out to the members of the Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark Preservation Society for the work they do producing the Fort Bayard Days celebration. Fort Bayard Days will be held September 21-23 at historic Fort Bayard. There will be a dinner with a presentation about Camp Cody, New Mexico. There will be reenactors, interpretive talks, live music, frontier baseball games, a military ball, Interdenominational Church Service and a potluck lunch. It's great to see the activities at Fort Bayard. If you want more information, you can call (575) 388-4777 or 388-4862.

Of course, the grounds and buildings look nice due in part to the efforts of the Village of Santa Clara, and the assistance they received this summer from groups coordinated by the Village. It's a shame the State of New Mexico does such a rotten job of preserving this wonderful historic area. Thank goodness for the Village of Santa Clara, the Preservation Society and some local folks that work hard to keep the building and grounds looking as nice as possible. Maybe, just maybe some of those people who are elected to part-time jobs in Santa Fe will decide to turn over Fort Bayard to the Village of Santa Clara during the upcoming legislative session. Who knows… maybe even some of our locally elected state representatives will actually work toward a path of saving Fort Bayard from neglect and ruin. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Speaking of celebrations, there aren't too many businesses that can celebrate 50 years but this weekend, Furniture Gallery in Silver City will have a band and cookout in their parking lot to celebrate 50 years of serving the people of Grant County and surrounding areas. Store owner Jeremy Lewis is inviting the community to come down and have a little food and enjoy the Gila River Band from 5 to 7 p.m. this coming Saturday. Congratulations Furniture Gallery!
