Today Rodeo is quickly becoming
one of the fastest growing art communities in the southwest.
Presently there are 3 galleries open on a regular basis: the
Chiricahua Gallery, Roger McKasson Studio-Gallery and the Rock
Shop. The Chiricahua Gallery is a co-op gallery of local artists
and crafts people. It is Rodeo's oldest
gallery and features paintings, ceramics, woodcarving
and craft items by local and regional artists and crafts
people.
Area attractions and events include the Shakespeare
Ghost Town Reenactments, Fourth of July Activities and
5K Run, the Hidalgo County Fair, the Tejano Fiesta,
Sister City Celebration at Antelope Wells, Cowboy Hall
of Fame, Mixed Nuts Arts and Crafts Show, the Historic
Lordsburg/Hidalgo Library Festival and Annual Book Sale,
the Hidalgo County Annual Light Parade and Moonlight
Madness, plus much more. Of historical interest is
the Hidalgo County Museum, with various historic items,
artifacts and treasures gathered from Hidalgo County and
nearby areas.
The
Lordsburg-Hidalgo Library is a beautiful building
and one of Lordsburg's real treasures. Another
Lordsburg feature is the Bootheel Cowboy Poetry
Fiesta. It features poets, storytellers and
musicians from around the Southwest. Held the second
week in February, the annual 2-night event is a
fundraiser for the Lordsburg-Hidalgo County Museum.
