The Tapestry of Talent Fiber Art Fashion show, a fundraiser for the SW Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC), was held Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the historic Silco Theater in downtown Silver City. The show featured one-of-a-kind fiber art designs constructed especially for the event.
The show sold out and ticket holders were treated to a great show featuring more than 100 garments and accessories. The fundraiser is unique because 100 percent of the sales of the garments sold immediately after the show go to the maker of the item. This is part of SWFAC's mission which is to provide a means for rural fiber artisans to earn income. SWFAC receives the proceeds of the tickets sold and the gift basket drawings. This year, $2,400 was made by the artisans, up from $1,700 last year.

On Saturday, Apr. 6, 2024, at about 3:20 p.m., a Silver City Police Department officer responded to the Hillside Apartments, 2545 N. Silver Street, to an aggravated burglary call. While en route, the Grant County Regional Dispatch Authority advised the officer that the tenant stated that four male juveniles were attempting to break into her apartment.
According to an SCPD incident report, when the officer made contact with the 61-year-old female caller, she stated that the juveniles were there to fight with her grandson and one of them, wearing a purple hoodie, broke a window to her apartment and attempted to enter. When she rushed into the room to see what was going on, the four juveniles ran away, she said.
