Five Things to Do This Weekend | October 4-6

5 Pick the perfect pumpkin.

Fall Festival at the Mesilla Valley Maze

The Mesilla Valley Maze at Lyles Farms, in Las Cruces, has welcomed families and fall fun seekers since 1999. This weekend marks the beginning of the corn maze and pumpkin picking season with a Fall Festival on Saturday and Sunday. Attendees can look forward to hayrides, a corn eating contest, live music, tours of the corn maze, stick horse races, and more family-friendly activities.

Heirloom Acres Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

The 10-acre family-friendly corn maze at Heirloom Acres takes about half an hour to complete, but there’s a shorter version called the Fairy Tale Trail if you’re in the mood for something lighter. The Artesia farm also boasts a pumpkin patch filled with pumpkins begging to be carved into Jack-o-lanterns. Visit on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in October.

Balzano Family Farm Pumpkin Patch & Vineyard

Every weekend in October and the first weekend in November, folks can visit the pumpkin patch at Balzano Family Farms, located between Artesia and Carlsbad, to pick a pumpkin straight from the vine. There is a collection of cute farm animals to pet, a pond to fish, and a fairy garden to wander. It’s open Saturdays and Sundays.

NM Wildlife Federation holds inaugural Outdoor Festival

EDGEWOOD, N.M. (KRQE) – The New Mexico Wildlife Federation gave people the opportunity to learn some new skills. On Saturday, Legacy Ranch Shooting Range hosted the Outdoor Festival and Skills Competition.

Guests got to experience live demonstrations and presentations on fly fishing, outdoor cooking, and hunting tips. The family-friendly event taught people the importance of the state’s wildlife federation.

“Our priority is maintaining the robust populations of wildlife for all New Mexicans to enjoy. The hunting and fishing traditions that exist in New Mexico fund conservation in this state, and provide the necessary means for our state wildlife agency to manage wildlife, so that it’ll exist for generations to come,” said Jesse Deubel, executive director of New Mexico Wildlife Federation.

The event also had live music, a handful of vendors, and competitive events. This was the first year that the Wildlife Federation put on this event, and organizers say that the event will be back in the future.
