Farmington Weekly Roundup

COVID numbers are decreasing in the region, and outdoor activities are increasing. This is your Farmington News Roundup, brought to you by 3 Rivers Brewery and Boon's Family Thai Barbecue; I'm Hannah Robertson. Looking for a fun family-friendly pre-weekend activity, check out the Downtown Art Walk, held the first Friday of April. Local businesses and restaurants will play host to local artists, who will be around to talk with visitors; Live music will be available, and make sure to stop for a bite to eat from a local restaurant. The Downtown Art Walk is sponsored by the New Mexico Arts Council. To learn more about the New Mexico Arts Council, or to see other council sponsored events, visit nwnmac.org.
