Alamogordo, NM — This holiday season, the heart of downtown Alamogordo will come alive with creativity, community, and festive spirit as the 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium opens its doors from November 28th to December 24th. Located at the corner of 12th Street and New York Avenue, directly across from Wells Fargo, this seasonal marketplace will showcase the talents of local crafters, artisans, and makers from across Otero County.

A collaborative effort between Our Little Country Store and the revitalization efforts of the Block12 District, the Pop-Up Emporium is designed to support small businesses and celebrate the unique artistry of Southern New Mexico. From handmade crafts and textiles, and gourmet dog treats, shoppers will find one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local entrepreneurs.

Marketing and promotional support for the project is provided by 2nd Life Media Inc, the independent media company behind AlamogordoTownNews.org, KRAZY KALHRadio.org, and Block12.org. Their platforms will feature vendor spotlights, behind-the-scenes stories, and live coverage throughout the season to help connect the community with the creators behind the crafts.
“This is more than a market—it’s a celebration of local talent and a chance to shop with purpose,” said Cindy Nowaczck curator and owner of Our Little Country Store.” We’re proud to support a pop up that brings neighbors and small business entereprenuers together and keeps holiday dollars right here in Alamogordo.”
The 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium is part of a broader effort to revitalize the 1200 Block Arts & Cultural District, which includes galleries, performance spaces, and historic storefronts. With festive décor, live music, and community programming planned to include Christmas on MainStreet, the 1200 Block Emporium and Our Little Country Store promises to be a destination for holiday cheer and local pride.

Sunny, with a high of 102 and low of 75 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
the long term drought conditions serve to underline the importance of long-term vision and planning to meet future water needs.
Now, if there was some way to collect all the storm runoff that goes out to the desert
any water distribution built with schedule 20 pvc piping, has been "a public utility emergency" since it was constructed. the fact that it lasted as long as it has is incredible.
ultimately the price for poor management practices will be equally borne by every property owner in that community - except those who have private wells, i suppose. but even those folks will have a smaller pool of prospective buyers....makes it sound kinda like socialism doesn't it?
I hope Dr. Hernandez is a guest speaker at an upcoming meeting of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Commission. She has so much wisdom and experience to pass on to younger generations.
It's the product of living in a lowly bubble: an immature, undeveloped writing style that has no insight or reasonable conclusion. Those PhD's from Watsamatta U in New Mexico are only a union card for activists to rally 'round and a far cry from what $200k a year should buy.
Your excellence at writing a reply show that you are an intelligent and urbane fellow. Whatever, get me my fries bro.
The "mayor" has an office? Everyone sees straight through your P.R. circus. Your lap dog , Old McDonald, is just as half-blind and limited as the rest of us poor ******** scrambling in the real world.
Jones, I hope you get some help with your anger management issues soon.
Obviously you have never met nor engaged with the mayor. She works tirelessly full file research, engaging with constituents and legislators at the state and federal level and with policy experts from DC to New Mexico to learn and better serve her constituency.
