Five Things to Do This Weekend
Attend Smokey's birthday party, watch burros race the hills, see wool become yarn, find joy at a three-day party, and shop for mom at an Indigenous Art Fair. Many of us wear wool, but few know how it gets from a sheep’s coat to the yarn that makes our cozy sweaters. At the Bosque Redondo Fiber Fair near Fort Sumner, learn about this process through sheep shearing demonstrations, workshops, and ranger talks on Saturday. Six experts from Las Arañas Spinners and Weavers Guild will demonstrate many of the wool-curing processes, from shearing to washing, skirting, and carding, using the memorial’s resident Navajo Churro sheep. Fair attendees can also check out the site’s exhibitions and take an audio tour on its interpretive trail. The fiber fair is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Classic Tracks: The Fireballs’ “Sugar Shack”
In August 1958, George Tomsco was facing a dilemma that many high school graduates face: what should he do with the rest of his life? Tomsco was the guitar player in the Raton, N.M. rock ‘n’ roll band The Fireballs. The band got its name at a high school talent show after performing a flawless rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire.” The recent success of his band in his hometown gave him the idea that he could make a career in the music business, but he had no idea how someone from a small town New Mexico could make that dream a reality. So, like many young men his age, he went off to college in hopes of training for a career. One night, while Tomsco was in his dorm room listening to an acetate of The Fireballs that his high school band teacher had recorded, a fellow student walked by his room and asked who the band was. When the student found out it was George and The Fireballs, he said they were good and should go to Clovis, N.M. to record with Buddy Holly’s producer, Norman Petty.
