    Another beautiful summer weekend in the Land of Enchantment is approaching quick, and for some that means finding something to do nearby. The National Weather Service predicts a hot and sunny weekend with temperatures in the mid- to high-90s during the day, but fear not – for those who are sun averse, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to help stay cool and have fun at the same time.

    1. North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center members can send their kids to cool off at the Sunport Pool Friday, July 8 from 5:30-7 p.m. during the teen field trip Teen Night Splash! Members can sign up at the NDB front desk. Also on Friday, NDB members can hit a golf ball around during the Family Mini Golf Game Night from 6-8 p.m.. For more information about activities or to become a member at NDB, call 505-764-6475.

    2. For those looking for some ice-packed adventure, check out the Stick and Puck adult pickup games at the Outpost Ice Arena. Pickup games run from 1:45-3 p.m. for adults 18 years and older on Friday, July 8. The cost is $15 per player per session, and full equipment and a full face shield are required.
