Cobre Schools hosted its annual Summerfest at Cobre High School on Saturday, July 26, 2025. The main attraction for the parents and incoming students is to qualify for free school supplies by collecting 10 signatures from the many vendors that take part in the event.
Some are food vendors but most are informational booths, such as those for the individual schools, WNMU, law enforcement, and the Silver City Museum. Games and activities entice students and adults to take part in the fun.
The Cobre state championship Cheer Squad was present, including Coach Kaytie Marquez and Assistant Coach Leilani Marquez (far right) with their mascot, Christian McBride, and some of their champion athletes and new recruits (Jasmine Steele, Allie Peru, Gabby Medina, Ezmyah Dominguez, Aimerie Pena, Kloie Rodriquez, and Alexis Carrillo).
The Castillo-Delgado family said the event gets better every year.
