For over 30 years, Dick and his wife Mogi Hogle, original owners of Hogle’s Theatrical Supplies, worked tirelessly to provide equipment and expertise (often discounted or donated), for every rock concert, local film, theater, dance recital, and benefit performance in the area. Any person, who has enjoyed a music concert or dance performance in Santa Fe in the past 30 years, has probably benefited from Dick’s professional expertise, technical equipment and generosity. Through the years, the Hogles employed many local people and served as a friendly professional asset to our community.
Although Dick and Mogi retired a few years ago and sold their business, they now find themselves financially liable after the business, under new ownership, went bankrupt. A number of friends from the northern New Mexico’s arts community who are grateful for all Dick and Mogi have done, are coming together to help the Hogles meet their financial obligations resulting from the closing of Hogle’s Theatrical Supplies.
We are conducting a benefit raffle and are producing a fundraising and tribute event on May 19th, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 at El Museo Cultural in the Santa Fe Railyard.
We kindly ask for the compassion and care of our communities, to assist the Hogles with legal fees and to honor and uplift Dick and Mogi in this time of crisis.
You can assist in the following ways:
If you are a performer, consider offering up a performance during the May 19th event.
To do so, email Dick at dick.hogle@gmail.com. We request that you let us know if you wish to perform by close of business, Friday, April 20th.
Consider providing an item, such as comp tickets to a performance, passes to a workshop or gift certificates to a restaurant, to the benefit raffle being conducted. To contribute a raffle item, contact Mikki Anaya at mediaoffice@newmexico.com. Items will be accepted until Monday, May 14th. The drawing will take place during the May 19th event.

Meet at 8:30 AM in front of Acequia Madre School to join this worthy cause and historic annual event. Back in the day it was a prestigious thing to be the mayordomo or ditch cleaner.
