LAS CRUCES – Governor Susana Martinez is in Las Cruces this weekend to kick off New Mexico’s Centennial Celebration at SalsaFest on Main Street. “This is a time for all of us to be proud to be New Mexicans,” said Governor Martinez. “I’m looking forward to taking part in all of the great activities at SalsaFest and enjoying New Mexico’s rich history and vibrant culture. Our Centennial anniversary is a time to celebrate and SalsaFest is a great way to kick it off.” Governor Martinez has also signed an executive order directing all state cabinet agencies to create, encourage, and promote Centennial celebration activities, such as community celebrations, commemorations, educational projects, and legacy projects that will educate and remind New Mexicans about the state’s unique history. The executive order also instructs agencies to coordinate with the Department of Cultural Affairs in promoting the Centennial commemoration.
“The Centennial is an opportunity to instill a legacy of appreciation for our state’s history, culture, and values that will last for the next hundred years and beyond,” said Governor Martinez. “I am asking each cabinet agency to play a role in commemorating this important anniversary through community activities and other projects that will make a difference now and for years to come.”
