John Knoll

The Pojoaque Valley Farmers Market is a garden of art and earthly delights. Located on the grounds of the Pueblo of Pojoaque Poeh Cultural Center, 13 miles north of Santa Fe at 78 Cities of Gold Road, the market, held in the shade under a cedar sombra, sits in the midst of a sculpture garden with works by Roxanne Swentzell and George Rivera, Pueblo of Pojoaque governor.

Ernestine Romero sings the soul of Northern New Mexico on her new CD, Sin Ti, which was unveiled at a CD release party May 1 at Anthony's at the Delta in Española. All songs on the CD are sung in Spanish, Romero's language of preference for vocalizing her Tejano-influenced cumbias and rancheras.
