The October meeting of the Manzano Mountain Gun Club will take place this Thursday evening, 10/21, at 6 pm, at Ancient Cities Cafe in Mountainair.
As you most likely know, our zoning request for the range has been tabled by Planning & Zoning until their November meeting. One very important item of business at this week's meeting will be discussing how each member or friend can help make the range a reality by supporting our plans through the zoning process. I hope very much that you will come this week.
Jim & Dorothy Greene will have the Friends of NRA tickets available for the Mountainair FNRA banquet on November 20. You can purchase their tickets from them at the club meeting Thursday. Tickets are $25 each or $45 for two. They will also have the tickets for the gun of the year raffle, Kimber rifle in 308 Win. caliber. Those tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25.

Buddy says Thanks Tanisha
The big dogs at my new home are my new best friends, but the little boy named Segan is my bestest friend in the world!
My new name is Buddy and I love my new home. Maybe other families will adopt puppies and kitties too.
Thanks Tanisha!
Tanisha Starr is Mountainair, NM animal control officer and she does a fantastic job!
Estancia, NM
Estancia, New Mexico
By Bill Dolson
It’s hard to imagine that sleepy little Estancia, New Mexico, population 1700, was once a rival to the City of Albuquerque. At the turn of the 19th century, the Mayor of Estancia made a bet with the Mayor of Albuquerque that Estancia would grow to be the greater city. Estancia lost the bet but has managed a win of another kind. Today, it is a healthy example of an endangered species, a viable rural small town, featuring a lifestyle vanishing as fast as the cowboys who still live and work here. It is a time machine you can fly into via an airstrip only a quarter mile off main street. Six family-run restaurants and three gift shops are located within easy walking distance of the tie-downs. You can cool off in the new public pool or just relax under the trees at the historic spring-fed lake. Rub elbows with cowboys at the local saloon and experience a lifestyle that is almost gone.

New Name ~ Larger Coverage Area for Central New Mexico New & Information
I became so tired of all of the negativity surrounding Mountainair that I wanted to show case the good things that happen in Mountainair. With the expansion of social networking, blogs, and world wide coverage via the internet, I wanted to expand the coverage area of the old Country Chronicles.
The Central Mountain area of New Mexico if the best location in the world in this writers opinion - all of our communities are filled with honest, hard working, neighborly people and we can do anything if we work together.
