NM Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum hosts summertime event on July 28
The Heritage Garden is one of the many things to see at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces. On July 28, the museum will host its Summertime on the Farm event.
It’s the biggest event at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum.
On Friday, July 28, the Las Cruces-based museum will host its second Summertime on the Farm event. The event runs from 4-9 p.m.
According to Craig Massey, museum spokesman, the event offers families a fun evening at the museum.
There will be an opportunity to learn how to make ice cream using a Ziplock bag.
Or families can take a trolley ride around the museum’s livestock corrals and barns, Massey says.
Massey says the event includes partnerships with Southwest Dairy Farmers (milking demonstration), The Rockin’ Blue Geckos (live music), and Doña Ana County 4-H, which will have hundreds of projects on display as part of 4-H Achievement Week.
“There will be various demonstrations, including milking,” Massey says.
Visitors will be able to enjoy games, activities, participate in a scavenger hunt, or shop at the plant sale.
Children 12 and under can participate in the annual bicycle parade at 5 p.m. Costumes and decorations are encouraged, and prizes will be awarded.
There also will be pony rides for children – $5 per ride – from 5:30-7 p.m.

Food trucks will be on site for a quick meal.
As the evening begins to cool, enjoy live music by the Rockin’ Blue Geckos from 7-9 p.m. The five-piece band plays everything from country, to rock, to blues. Bring your blankets or folding chairs. Admission for the entire event is $20 per carload.
