Hello neighbors, Steven here from Higher Speed Internet.
It’s a true blessing to live and work amongst such good folks in our East Mountains and Estancia Valley. Every day, I’m reminded of the strong spirit of faith, family, and country that binds us together. Seeing how everyone steps up to serve one another, it truly warms the heart. We’re proud to support our community and always want to share the wonderful things happening around us. Takes a bit of honest effort to get these gatherings organized, but that’s just how we do things here, isn’t it? Worth every bit when you see folks gather, share, and connect. Here’s what’s coming up that caught my eye:
What’s Happening in Moriarty?
What a wonderful tradition! The Moriarty Community Center is getting ready for their annual Harvest Festival. This is a chance to celebrate the bounty of our land and the hard work of local hands. You’ll find local vendors, good food, and some lively music. It’s always a good, wholesome family fun event, perfect for supporting our neighbors and enjoying a crisp autumn day.

What Events are Coming Up in Edgewood?
It’s always a special time to honor those who’ve served our country so bravely. Our VFW Post 9955 here in Edgewood hosts a monthly potluck supper, and it’s a wonderful opportunity. Gathering with our veterans and their families, sharing a meal and stories – that’s what true community is all about. If you haven’t been, do consider joining them. They’d be glad to see you.

What’s New for Our Friends in Cedar Crest?
Encouraging our youngest neighbors in their learning journey is always a gift. For our families up in Cedar Crest, the Sandia Park Library is continuing their wonderful ‘Read to a Dog’ program for kids. This program is such a gentle, supportive way to help children grow in confidence and skill as they practice reading aloud in a relaxed, friendly setting. It truly helps our little ones develop a love for books and learning.
