Ruidoso June Community Events
June 13th, 2008 categories: Community, Food and Entertainment
What could be more fun than hanging out with friends and family in the cool mountain air of Ruidoso and being able to attend one of the awesome concerts taking place here? There are so many events scheduled for the summer. I wish I had the time and space to write an article on each, but for brevity’s sake I can only hit a few of the highlights each month. Keep checking back. We’ll do our best to keep you abreast of our biggest community events and concerts as we know about them.
June 14, 2008 - Esteban, a master guitarist and arranger, will be performing at the Spencer Theater on the evening of June 14. Esteban has topped the Billboard charts numerous times with his albums and dvd’s. Now is your chance to hear the legendary guitarist in person. Visit the Spencer Theater’s website for ticket information and show times.
June 14 - Spring Fling Car Show: Mountain Annie’s. Come join the fun. The car show runs from 10-4 on Saturday. Admission is free.
June 14 & 15 - Ruidoso Wine Festival: Inn of the Mountain Gods. The New Mexico Wine Growers Association will be hosting the event. The cost is $20 at the door and includes a souvenir wine glass. A picture ID will be required and a designated driver is strongly suggested. Wine will be available for tasting or for buying. Visit the Inn of the Mountain God’s site or www.nmwine.com for more information.
June 21 & 22 - Ron White, comic sensation. Have a ball with “Tater Salad” Ron White at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. A second night has been added to the schedule due to his popularity, so if you can’t make the first show, get tickets for the second. Visit ticketmaster for prices and availability.
June 28 - The Buckinghams: Spencer Theater. This group is one of the tightest bands I’ve ever heard. Several years ago, I went to one of their performances at the old Bingo Hall near the casino. I was blown away by the Buckingham’s beautifully honed sound. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Head over to the Spencer Theater’s website for details.
That’s all for now. I’ll soon post an update for July’s events. With the fire restrictions still in Stage III, I hope you see something above that gets you off your rocker and up on the mountain. It’s summer! Have fun!

Outdoor Dining in Ruidoso
May 13th, 2008 categories: Food and Entertainment
One of the benefits of living in Ruidoso is the fact that the summer temperatures are mild with little or no humidity, so you can really enjoy the great outdoors. Sadly, our national forest is being closed for an indeterminate amount of time beginning May 1, which is going to make having a picnic a little more difficult. However, there is one option that, (for me), offers the best of both worlds.
In the heart of Mid-town and just a slight walk down Eagle Drive, you can find an inviting little restaurant called Picnics Deli. They’ve been there for a few years now, making fresh deli sandwiches and soups. Everything is homemade - not an easy thing to come by in many restaurants these days. The ham is carved straight from the bone, the brisket is slow cooked, not barbecued, and 25 lb. turkeys are cooked right on the premises. Each morning, soups and pastas are made from scratch by Jeralyn, one of the owners.
Beginning in June, owner Larry Hess plans to extend their hours to include Friday and Saturday evenings serving up delicious plates of prime rib, plus a tasty nightly special. So later this summer, if you’re taking a stroll in Mid-town, make sure you turn the corner at Eagle Drive to see what Larry is preparing. Future plans are in the works to obtain a beer & wine license and to construct a deck for more outdoor dining space. Right now, outdoor dining is available in the courtyard overlooking the Ruidoso River. Read the rest of this entry »
