Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Drawing from the NMSU Art Museum’s extensive collection of over 2,200 Mexican retablos, Trinities of Heaven and Earth explores the spiritual and cultural importance of these sacred images. Retablos, small devotional paintings traditionally displayed in Mexican homes, served as vital expressions of Catholic faith and values within the household. The imagery of the Holy Family conveys blessings related to family life, while depictions of the Holy Trinity invoke divine guidance. Together, these themes explore the connection between sacred devotion and earthly life, bridging the divine and the domestic.

The exhibition will open on March 21, 2025, at 5:30 pm in the Margie and Bobby Rankin Retablo Gallery, and will be open until March 7, 2026. The museum is open Tues-Sat from 10 AM - 4 PM.

55 & Better Adult Program at the Wellington Chew Senior Center
Once a week on Wednesdays, Machelle Wood and volunteers travel to the Wellington Chew Senior Ceneter to speak with seniors and record their stories. Their experiences have brought history to life! Volunteers Victoria and Veronica join educators Martín López and Machelle Wood to help record their history. They met military officers, civil rights activists, nurses, and homemakers. Every week is a new peek into the many facets of the human experience. This is an ongoing program, so if you would like to volunteer and assist in collecting these amazing stories, contact Gloria Garza at 915-533-5147 or email her at Gloria.Garza@thc.texas.gov.
These activities aim to foster mental and physical well-being, strengthen community ties, and engage the largest demographic group in the United States.
