Sky Railway Rides Again @ Santa Fe Train Depot

Tickets

Dec 3 all-day

On December 3, right here in New Mexico the Sky between Santa Fe and Lamy opens back up because Sky Railway Rides Again.

Famed author, George R. R. Martin (Game of Thrones) has renovated and give life to the old train.

Here’s details from the man himself:

Read all about it on my Not a Blog, it’s going to be good fun for all!

https://georgerrmartin.com/…/2021/11/20/opening-the-sky/

On December 3, right here in New Mexico, we will be opening the Sky between

Santa Fe and Lamy. Sky Railway, to be precise. Sky Railway Rides Again

That’s the new name of the old Santa Fe Southern, the historic short-haul railroad originally build by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe back in the nineteenth century.

Largely moribund since 2012, the railway was acquired in 2020 by a group that included me, Bill Banowsky (founder of Magnolia Films and Violet Crown Cinemas), bestselling mystery author Douglas Preston, and five other prominent Santa Feans (Margaritas may have had something to do with our decision).

We’ve been busy ever since restoring and refurbishing the cars, repairing the tracks and tressels, replacing old seats, fixing broken windows, even installing a new engine into one of our old locomotives.

All of which took longer and cost more than we had originally anticipated… but hey, that’s pretty much always the case.

(I almost titled this post “I’ve been working on the railroad,” but my readers would have taken that the wrong way… and, anyway, it isn’t true. I am one of the owners.

Mostly what I have been doing is throwing out ideas and writing checks. Sky’s employees, an energetic and enthusiastic crew, have been doing the work, all those things I mentioned up above and lots more besides.

I have not driven a single spike, laid a single rail, reupholstered a seat, crawled under a coach to check the wheels, and I won’t be selling tickets or driving the trains either… though I do reserve the right to blow the whistle now and again. Nor have I been in the kitchen with Dinah. I have working, yes, yes… but not on the railroad.

I have been writing WINDS OF WINTER, editing three new Wild Cards books, sitting down with some amazing screenwriters and showrunners to create three hundred and seventeen new GAME OF THRONES successor shows for HBO and HBO Max, and serving as executive producer on various other television and film projects in various stages of development, including DARK WINDS for AMC, JOKERTOWN for Peacock, ROADMARKS and WHO FEARS DEATH for HBO.

Oh, and I was the executive producer on our (recently wrapped) short film of Howard Waldrop’s NIGHT OF THE COOTERS. So I have been working. Maybe too bloody hard, but that’s another tale for another blog post… though these days even finding the time to blog is hard).

But I digress. Let us get… ahem… back on track.

Santa Fe is the City Different, and we wanted Sky, the reborn Santa Fe Southern, to be the Railway Different. We had two big old diesel locomotives, so right off we decided we would run two trains: the Wolf and the Dragon.

And to paint them, and give each its own character and a look unlike any other train in the country, we hired Santa Fe’s own JORAEL NUMINA, an amazingly gifted muralist and graffiti artist.

You can check out Joerael’s own website at https://www.joerael.com/ He’s been climbing all over our trains for the best part of the last year, and we think he’s produced something extraordinary.**

The 5 Main Health Benefits of Skiing

1) Skiing Strengthens Your Bones and Joints

Skiing is a weight-bearing exercise and your knees and joints work hard to bear the tension as your body turns and manoeuvres down the mountainside. This in turn strengthens your knees and gives flexibility to joints and muscles. Your bones are made stronger by bearing the weight impact on your legs which can help to counteract osteoporosis and other knee and joint damage.

2) Skiing Helps Control Weight

People often ask how many calories do you burn when skiing? According to Harvard Medical School, a person weighing 11 stone burns 223 calories in 30 minutes of downhill skiing. Which is amazing when you think how many calories you burn over a whole week of skiing several hours a day! This is why it’s important to keep your energies up by enjoying the delicious chalet food on offer during your ski holiday! We work with chefs to carefully design our menus which are not only lip-smackingly tempting, but specially devised for keeping up the energies and nutritional needs of skiers and snowboarders. Skiing regularly can keep you fit and trim, which keeps your heart and body healthy.

“Skiing can help an individual shed up to 5 lbs (almost half a stone) in a span of seven days if they spend six hours every day going up and down the slope.” (Medical Daily)

3) Skiing Strengthens Core Muscles and Improves Balance

Without having good balance and a strong core, skiing is almost impossible. The deep core muscles which are required for helping you to balance (including the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles) are essential stabilisers and all get a really good workout when you ski. A huge health benefit of skiing is when you work on deep core stabilisation this in turn supports your whole system; from your breathing, posture and even your digestion. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles supports your internal organs and is advantageous to your whole body.

4) Cardiovascular Exercise is Good for the Body and Heart

Your heart is a muscle and working it out with activities such as skiing makes it stronger. Skiing is an aerobic sport which is good for raising the heart rate and for increasing cardiovascular endurance. With your heart operating stronger, more oxygen gets delivered to cells in your muscles by your capillaries. Which turn benefits your whole cardiovascular system and making skiing an excellent way to keep your body healthy and your heart strong. To maximise this, try walking up the hill rather than using the ski lift (you’ll definitely feel it the next day!)

5) Mental Health Benefits of Skiing

There are proven psychological benefits to being out on the slopes. Not only will you benefit from increased vitamin D intake from being outside all day (thus counteracting depression and seasonal mood disorders), but the ‘feel good’ chemicals in your body – endorphins and adrenaline – are heightened when doing an activity like skiing. Skiing outdoors can elevate mood and create a greater sense of well-being and happiness, which we all know and which is why we love skiing so much! Come and join us and experience the health benefits of skiing firsthand, we can’t wait to welcome you!

Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then & Now @ New Mexico History Museum

Tickets

Dec 3 @ 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then & Now sweeps across more than 500 years of history—from the state’s earliest inhabitants to the residents of today. Stories are told through artifacts, videos, photographs, computer interactives, and oral histories that underscore the state’s cultural diversity and provide context for the museum’s ever-changing array of temporary exhibitions. Together, these stories breathe life into the people who made the American West: Native Americans, Spanish colonists, Mexican citizens, Santa Fe Trail riders, fur trappers, outlaws, Buffalo Soldiers, railroad workers, miners, scientists, hippies, artists, and photographers. Highlights of the exhibition include Native American pottery, baskets, and jewelry from pre-European contact; a halberd from about 1600 used by Spanish conquistadores in their conquest of Indigenous peoples; an illustrated map of New Mexico from 1758 by the cartographer Bernardo Miera y Pacheco; a stagecoach, portraits, and personal possessions of settlers who traveled the Santa Fe Trail; and the death mask of Francisco “Pancho” Villa (1878–1923), the Mexican general who led a raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916.

Our Mission

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation supports the Museum of New Mexico system, in collaboration with the Museum of New Mexico Board of Regents and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. The Foundation’s principal activities are fund development for exhibitions and education programs, retail and licensing programs, financial management, advocacy and special initiatives. The Foundation serves these New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs institutions:

Our History

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation was founded in 1962 by Thomas B. Catron III as a vehicle for providing private support for the four state museums in Santa Fe. The establishment of the private, nonprofit Foundation launched a robust private-public partnership between the Foundation and the State of New Mexico that continues today. While the State of New Mexico funds building operations and staff salaries, “The Foundation provides a way for private funds to be directed to three vital areas of cultural support: education, collections and exhibitions,” says Catron. The Foundation’s mission has expanded beyond the four state museums in Santa Fe to include support eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies. Today, thousands of generous members and donors contribute to all of our cultural institutions through membership, designated gifts and more. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised more than $90 million in total giving from 25,000 donors and more than 15,000 members. Our role and impact in supporting one of the country’s largest state-run museum systems remains vital to the advancement of the art, history and culture of New Mexico and the world.

Puzzah! Escape Rooms @ Puzzah! Escape Rooms

Tickets

Dec 3 @ 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Where else in Santa Fe can you search and find a medieval knight that haunts a pizza parlor or answer the call to be part of an elite crime-fighting team fighting acts of cyberterrorism and if that wasn’t enough how being abducted by aliens and fight you way back to earth? Head over to the Railyard and you will find out that you can do all this in one spot inside with Puzzah! Interactive Puzzle Rooms (sandwiched between REI and Violet Crown).

Putting the clues together with a little help from friends

Puzzah! Is an interactive puzzle room that is sure to twist the minds of all those that dare to escape these fun-filled, yet challenging quests rooms before time is up or face a fate worse than death (not really but it sounds good)! Over the Christmas holiday, I had my best friend in from out of town and needed something fun to break the ice with newest member to our family, his lovely girlfriend. (We will not use names to protect the innocent, ok, these two aren’t innocent but you know what I mean). Immediately I thought “there’s nothing better for this situation like an escape room”. I called up Danielle and she set me up with Ryan who booked us for 2 rooms to experience. We broke up the two experiences with a break in between, which I highly recommend, as our attitudes, especially towards each other, seemed to have a slight slant after the first experiences. Right off the bat, there’s nothing like being locked in a small room with family and friends to see whom will either pull it together or untangle at the seams.

My experience was both. Some of my friends/family who I didn’t expect to contribute, pretty much solved or lead us to the answers while those I thought would get us out in 20 minutes struggled. I found this to be the best part of the entire experience. I saw people I love under pressure and let’s just say, I don’t want to be with some as much as others when the ship goes down. Ha! The Puzzah puzzle rooms are fun, dynamic, CHALLENGING, high tech and sometimes a bit tricky but so worth the experience and the lasting memories you will create with your family, friends, co-workers and heck try some strangers too. The 3 puzzle rooms will put your mind to the test. There are 3 different missions to choose from like:

Specimen: this room has you abducted by aliens, lost in space and you need to figure your way back to earth. Knight Shade: Put your ghost hunting skills to the test as you decide to go and see if the story is true about a medieval knight whose spirit haunts our favorite place for pizza, Sir Pizza Lot. Can you shed some light on the Knight Shade before time runs out? INTERCEPT: Cyberterrorism is threatening Santa Fe and you and your elite crime fighting team called M.A.S.K. has formed to respond to the INTERCEPT threat. Your skills are needed to infiltrate enemy bases and defeat hostile agents. Can your team survive and stop the cyberterrorism before it’s too late? What are you waiting for?

Assemble a team and choose your live adventure. The high-tech missions are super fun, challenging and an unforgettable hands-on experience for everyone! Don’t forget to enjoy their unique experiences in and around Denver, Boulder, and Santa Fe. Inspired by the escape room trend around the world, Puzzah! takes the excitement to the next level. CALL 303-534-5477 or visit them at www.puzzah.com and put a little fun in your heart, smile on your faces and laughter in your soul, these are what memories are made of. A great time had by all. Thanks Puzzah!

Let’s close out this stressful year with some fun at Tumbleroot Santa Fe’s new premier nightclub and bar away from the downtown scene.

Tumbleroot was established in 2018. With a combined brewery and distillery production space, we make a wide variety of beer, spirits, liqueurs, bitters and canned cocktails. Made from-scratch, our products feature organic, garden grown and wild harvested ingredients. Our beers have won medals at national competitions including the Great American Beer Festival and the National Honey Board Honey Beer Competition. We have won numerous local awards for our products, and in 2020, the readers of Edible Magazine named Tumbleroot the best producer of distilled spirits in New Mexico. Our production space has an intimate tasting room and bottle shop where guests can learn more about us, sample our products, and enjoy draft beer and craft cocktails. We also offer tours every Wednesday and Thursday. Our flagship taproom on Agua Fria St, the historic Club Alegria, is a community hub with an expansive courtyard and a large indoor venue with a stage and dance floor. We have a from-scratch bar program and make our own syrups, shrubs, bitters and cordials for our cocktails and alcohol free beverages. With indoor and outdoor bars and kitchens, the taproom changes throughout the seasons, but always delivers quality, pub-style food and drink. Check out our current menu. Tumbleroot has won many local awards for our taproom ranging from best date spot to most family friendly restaurant. We regularly host djs and live music, from the best local artists to nationally touring musicians. Check our calendar for upcoming shows. Speaking of, here’s a look at the end of 2021:

Entreflamenco is a nonprofit organization with 501c3 charity status with cultural and educational purpose. The dance company was created and founded by Antonio Granjero in 1998 in Madrid, Spain, the company traveled throughout the Iberian peninsula being presented in places such as the Palau de la Musica de Barcelona, Festival de Verano de la Communidad de Madrid and Ciclos Culturales de Alcala de Henares (Madrid). Later, the company has traveled throughout the United States and Central America performing in Houston Hobby Center (Houston, TX), Charline McCombs Empire Theatre (San Antonio, TX), Festival Flamenco de Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, CA) and Teatro National de Panama (Panama City, Panama)

The company debuted FLAMENCO PARA 4 ESTACIONES in the Sterling Houston Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. This production was recognized by the San Antonio Express News as the “The Best of Dance of 2009.” This production also was presented in association with the Pan American Dance Institute and New Mexico State University Dance Program at the Rio Grande Theatre in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Director Granjero was awarded a Choreography grant by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio for his excellence and for 2011 DEL SUR production. DEL SUR premiered in the Entreflamenco Dance Space in April 2011 in San Antonio with following performances throughout Texas and New Mexico. This production also received support from the Consulate General of Spain in Houston, Texas. Later during the same year Granjero’s first Santa Fe production season was presented by the Maria Benitez Institute of Spanish Arts and The Lodge at Santa Fe with the show FLAMENC@s.

In 2012, Entreflamenco was recognized for the second year consecutively by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio with a Choreography grant for the production AIRE. This award winning production sold out performances in San Antonio, Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans.

Granjero and Entreflamenco were presented in a second fall season of shows by the Institute of Spanish Arts and The Lodge at Santa Fe with the mentioned show.

In 2013 the company was the featured act at the Texas Food & Wine Summit in Buffalo Gap, TX, the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson Hole, WY, the Uvalde Opera House in Uvalde, TX and their annual fall season of shows in San Antonio, TX and in Santa Fe, NM.

Antonio Granjero & EntreFlamenco began serving Santa Fe in 2011 with a fall season of shows and later was named the residence company to the Maria Benitez Cabaret at The Lodge at Santa Fe in 2014. Entreflamenco performed as the highlighted entertainment for The City of Santa Fe’s Mayor’s Benefit Gala where they helped Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Northern New Mexico raise $350,000.00.

Since that time the company has evolved, presenting nearly 90 performances annually.

Entreflamenco celebrated a partnership which was in part funded by the Texas Commission on the Arts with the Chinati Foundation where they presented performances at the Crowley Theatre in addition to working with the Marfa Independent School District where they served children’s summer programming Spanish Culture Immersion Program various years. They have been featured at the Gran Junction Symphony Series at the Avalon Theatre.

In 2017, they were recognized as one of the Mayor’s Arts Award to the City of Santa Fe along with other figures and entities such as George RR Martin and the Georgia O’ Keefe Museum.

In 2018, they headlined the Festival Flamenco de Montreal in Canada where they received raving reviews from acclaimed French dancer Agathe Beaudoin “ Exito absolute…”

Entreflamenco has toured in 2019 in between performance seasons in Philadelphia, Texas and Mexico, where they partnered with the Latin Ballet of Virginia and the City of Cozumel to celebrate the 500 years of the Spanish Discovery of San Miguel de Cozumel. Their international profile as dance leaders not only speaks for itself in the flamenco panorama, but also is representative to the State of New Mexico, nationally and abroad.

The impact of their work reaches many individual on multiple levels: economically disadvantaged youths that benefit from the outreach programs, community goers or visitors alike that want to have a cultural enriching experience by visiting NM and attending an Entreflamenco performance, or a flamenco dance student that visits Santa Fe for the annual flamenco workshop to better understand the art form from the hand of dance masters from Spain.

Entreflamenco now operates nearly 100 performances per year at EL FLAMENCO DE SANTA FE with four distinct performance seasons while creating a new generation of youth dancers for the future of flamenco in Santa Fe.

El Flamenco 2021 Season is set to bring life back from Covid~
