How to resolve AdBlock issue? Local News Releases
These releases come from other sources than the Grant County Beat. This category will include events in and news releases from Grant, Catron, Hidalgo and Luna counties.
The Grant County Art Gallery is one of the 32 participants in the Taste of Downtown Coupon Book. Their members have generously donated their time and talent to make a wide variety of holiday ornaments. The Gallery is located at 316 N. Bullard St. and shows and sells the work of dozens of local artists. If you have a Taste of Downtown coupon book, the Guild’s coupon is for a free holiday ornament.
Recently, Brenda Tozier, Silver City MainStreet Administrative Assistant, redeemed her coupon and picked out a beautiful purple glass ornament. “There is a wide variety of ornaments, stated Tozier. The Guild members really went all out. There are stained glass pieces, miniature paintings, framed photos, beaded ornaments and so many more. I was just amazed at the quality and selection. It was really hard to decide.”
Silver City MainStreet couldn’t hold their annual fundraiser, the Taste of Downtown this year and instead is selling a coupon book for $20 that has more than $200 in savings and great deals like the Guild’s free ornament. There are coupons from 32 downtown merchants with an expiration date of December 31, 2021.
Even in this stressful time, art heals the soul. Dia de los Muertos is the perfect time to celebrate art, just as we celebrate and remember the lives of those gone before.

Submit work by October 10, 2020 in jpg format to leybaingallarts@questoffice.net. Accepted pieces must be gallery ready and there will be a 45% commission on work that is sold.
Artwork is to be delivered between 1 pm and 4 pm on October 19,2020 unless other arrangements are made.

The holiday season will begin with the 30th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade in downtown Silver City. The Lighted Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2020 from 7 pm to 8 pm. This year there is no theme or entry fee to make it easier for groups to participate. This community event is sponsored by Silver City MainStreet and the Town of Silver City.
Due to the pandemic, the parade will be a static or reverse parade. Silver City MainStreet worked with Chief of Police Portillo and the Town of Silver City to determine the best way to have this well loved holiday event. Floats will line up and stay in place on both sides of Broadway St. Families can enjoy the floats from the comfort and warmth of their cars.
