Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, April 5th. Sunny skies are greeting us today with highs around 61 degrees and lows dipping to 37, perfect for shaking off that early spring chill and diving into what our city has cooking. First up, a heads-up on some big changes hitting close to home: Santa Fe County is pulling fire and EMS services from Edgewood starting July 1st after a sticky payment dispute thats been simmering for years. The county covered the town for two decades, but Edgewood stopped paying after fiscal year 2023, leading to a lawsuit and settlement that ends the deal. Town manager Kelly Hamilton assures folks theyre lining up new providers and even eyeing expansions, so no ones left in the lurch, but its a reminder how these local agreements keep our safety nets strong and what happens when the bills dont align. Shifting gears to brighter vibes, yesterdays Easter fun is still echoing with egg hunts that brought smiles across town. Families flocked to the Santa Fe Cat Cafe for a purr-fect cat-filled scavenger from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Rivera Funeral Garden at noon with a Hop movie, donuts, and juice chase, and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden hiding thousands in the Ojos y Manos Ethnobotanical Garden until 2 p.m. If you missed em, no sweat plenty more hops ahead. Today, head to Tumbleroot from 2 to 6 p.m. for the Route 66 First Sunday Market, buzzing with local jewelry, pottery, baked goods, and seasonal drinks to toast the Mother Roads 100th anniversary all summer long. Its a laid-back way to support artisans and soak up that community spirit. Music lovers, catch the tail end of El Flamenco Cabarets spring season through June 28th at 135 West Palace Avenue downtown, where Entreflamencos full-length shows blend fiery dance and dinner starting at 6:15 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays pure passion in our historic plaza. Looking ahead, mark April 18th for NM Motorfest in Albuquerque, New Mexicos flagship all-styles car show celebrating Route 66 with live tunes, DJs, food trucks, and awards a road trip worth taking. Closer in, Cars and Coffee kicks off monthly first Saturdays at the PERA building lot, family-friendly with Kakawas chocolate nearby. And foodies, tune into Slow Food Santa Fe chats about cheese trails and NM Guild events tying into Route 66s centennial. Whether youre exploring markets, grooving to flamenco, or pondering tomorrows drive, Santa Fe stays alive with these threads weaving us together. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency.
