Santa Fe Fiestas

Que Viva La Fiesta

What Can I say I am so proud to have been in our states capital this past weekend for the Santa Fe Fiestas. There was the Burning of the Zozobra on Thursday Sept 9 which is highlight of la fiesta. Just after dusk, a 50-foot effigy called Zozobra will be burned in the central park, accompanied by dancers and drumbeats. Zozobra is also known as "old-man gloom". Santa People believe that when he is burned, all of your troubles go up in smoke with him. However, depending on who you talk to, there will be no troubles either for the next five days or in the coming year.

On Sunday is the big parade which I walked and gave out candy.
I heard everyone saying look Mrs NM. It was so awesome and I also got to meet all kinds of congress and state officials who said they have heard a lot about me. They were pleased with all the work and support that I have been doing with our New Mexicans. It made me so excited to know that I am making a difference. I also met Brian Colon who is running for our State Lt Governor and our NM State treasure James Lewis who is a cowboy fan yea Go Cowboys....

It was all wonderful and glad to have been apart and continue working with.
Thank Senator Udall's Office and Mike Lopez for everything.
