CLOSURE NOTIFICATION

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NM, Mar. 12, 2025 – The Gila National Forest, Black Range Ranger District will close the Kingston Campground, adjacent to the Town of Kingston, New Mexico March 13 – 16 for a community event. Gila National Forest staff will work with Kingston community members to clean up and remove dead and down fuels from the Nursery Spring area.

Silver City, NM — As a race sanctioned by the global governing body of cycling, Tour of the Gila must provide housing for teams participating in the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) men's and women's races. Amateur racers tend to book up the hotels and vacation rentals in Grant County, and it's more cost-effective for the race to house teams with local families.

Staying in a home with a kitchen and bike storage is also more convenient than a hotel, where space is limited and meals cannot be cooked for large groups. While some teams do book hotel rooms for their riders and staff members, others rely on volunteer housing hosts to welcome them in.

agriculture, and industry and supporting the diverse woodlands and wildlife we all love.

Alfredo Ramos' The Last Angry Brown Hat is a poignant one-act drama that transcends a mere nostalgic reminiscence, instead serving as a microcosm for the complex legacy of the Chicano Movement. The narrative, set within the familiar confines of a dilapidated garage—a symbolic locus of their youthful camaraderie—explores the fraught negotiation between past idealism and present-day realities for four Chicano men. This setting, adorned with the faded iconography of the movement, underscores the play's central thematic tension: the dissonance between the revolutionary fervor of their youth and the compromises inherent in aging.

Since moving to Silver City 14 years ago, they have been intrigued by the Mexico/ US border and have followed the stories connected to the wall, the events happening on both sides of the border and people whose lives are affected. "We try to tell the story of the border, one that includes both the immigrants and residents, through our photography. We feel it is important that people hear those stories" says Sandy.
