Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 27, 2025. If you are just joining us, grab your cafecito and settle in, we have a lively lineup of news, happenings, and a few updates every Santa Fean should know about.First up, travel with extra care this morning if your route takes you near La Cienega. Heavy rain overnight has led to flooding on Los Pinos Road, and authorities from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office are urging everyone to avoid the area. Please plan for alternate routes and give yourself a little extra time if you normally head that way, especially as crews continue to monitor the situation and conditions can change quickly.Santa Fe’s creative pulse is strong today as always. Art enthusiasts, consider a midday stop at the New Mexico Museum of Art, where at 11 o’clock, curator Tom Leech will take you on a deep dive into the world of Gustave Baumann with a special talk about the legendary artist’s relationship with New Mexico’s landscape. This is a one-hour event, so it’s perfect for squeezing something inspiring into your lunch break.For our families or anyone looking for some hands-on fun, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum is hosting their Seeds and Sprouts program this morning for the younger set, while the DeVargas Center’s got Chess at the Mall for all the budding Garry Kasparovs out there. Over at the Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site, book lovers gather later on for Book Buddies at 4 PM, reading Paco and the Giant Chile Plant, followed by an activity that taps into the stories of the region.Today also brings Wetland Wednesdays at El Rancho de Las Golondrinas from 10 until 3. If you love nature, this is a fantastic way to get out and explore local wetland habitats, learn about native species, and maybe even cool off a bit on a warm August day. And for everyone marking their calendars, tomorrow evening, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture celebrates the season’s change with Summer Slowdown, an end-of-summer bash with live music and a Frito Pie bar for those 21 and up.Tonight, music lovers have something special: Keb Mo and Shawn Colvin will be live at the Lensic Performing Arts Center at 7:30. If you’re hoping to catch two folk and blues legends under one roof, this is your chance.For those civic-minded, remember that comment submissions regarding local water rights wrap up next month, with a key public hearing coming in October. The debate over our water is as relevant as ever – your voice matters in shaping Santa Fe’s future.And one more event not to miss: the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Bikes for Business ride is rolling today, culminating at VARA Winery – blending community action and a little summer fun for a midweek recharge.That wraps up our morning beat. Whether you are galavanting through galleries, joining a community ride, or just dodging the puddles, Santa Fe offers plenty of ways to soak up the culture and the sunshine in between the showers. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
