Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, September 4th. As the city gets ready to slide into fiesta weekend, there is a buzz of excitement in the air and plenty for you to see and do today and in the days ahead.First up, if you or someone you know has been affected by recent flooding, the State of New Mexico has extended disaster food assistance for SNAP recipients living in the ten hardest-hit counties, including De Baca and Otero nearby. Through September 30th, you can use EBT cards to buy hot, ready-to-eat food at authorized grocery deli departments, making it a little easier for families navigating these tough times. The assistance does not apply to restaurants but is a crucial support while recovery continues.On a brighter note, Santa Fe is heading into Fiesta de Santa Fe, one of the city’s oldest and most beloved traditions. While the big weekend events kick off tomorrow, you can already feel the energy building.

And music fans will want to head to the El Rey Court for Locals Night, with good tunes and good company all evening.If you’re looking ahead to the rest of the week, get ready for the fiesta crowds on the Plaza this weekend.
