    • Usually there is about 100 balloons that fill the sky during this event. It is in January every year. The dates change every year so be sure to check out the web site. For a donation you can go up in a tethered balloon and see Las Cruces from the air.

    • Every September come and see the World's Largest Enchilada be made right in front of your eyes. Then after it's done then you can eat a piece of it. The fiesta usually lasts for 3 days and is host to food, games, dancing, and of course the making of the world's largest enchilada. Just to give you guys an idea about how big it really is, here are the ingredients:

    175 gallons of vegetable oil, heated to cook the tortillas

    75 gallons of red chile sauce

    175 lbs. of grated cheese

     You live in a gorgeous part of the country. New Mexico is one of my favorite states, and it would be great to go back someday to see the things I missed during my short visits.
