    The smell of roasted green chile is in the air, midway is open at the State Fair and football season in full swing. Although it’s still officially summer, fall events are just around the corner. Get a taste of what’s to come at some of the events going on this weekend right here in the far Northeast Heights:

    1. Become the 5,294th member of The Albuquerque Hiking and Outdoor Meetup group by visiting meetup.com/hiking-204. On Thursday, Sept. 8 the group will hike up Pino Trail for 2.75 miles before heading back down. The evening cardio hike begins at 6 p.m. Practice rock climbing with the group Thursday, Sept. 8, at the Stone Age Climbing Gym North. The regular gym climb is for all skill levels and begins at 6:20 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 10, the group will hike Oso Ridge Trail before heading east through the Vertical Forest to meet the Crest Trail. Hikers should be physically prepared for the challenging 11.4 mile hike and should bring plenty of water.

    2. Start the weekend right with a little soccer action at Albuquerque Academy. The Albuquerque Academy Invitational takes place Sept. 9-10 at Richard Harper Memorial Field. Boys and girls varsity teams will be playing multiple opponents during the invitational. Visit academychargers.com for more details about the tournament and other school events.

    3. Get ready for the New Mexico Ice Wolves 2022-23 season with a public skate session at the Outpost Ice Arena. Prices range from $1 for ages 5 and under to $10 for skaters 6 and up. Skate rentals are $3 plus tax. There are four sessions on Friday, Sept. 9, three on Saturday, Sept. 10, and three public skate sessions on Sunday, Sept. 11. Each session is two hours.

    4. Take a blast to the past at Cherry Hills Library with ’80s trivia from 2-2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. Play alone or on a team of up to five members. The winners will take home prizes for retaining all the useful information about the 1980s. Registration for the event is required, and players must be age 16 or older. Want to go further back in time? Come back to the library Sunday, Sept. 11, for the Type-In! Public Typewriter Gathering from 1:30-4 p.m. Ditch those digital devices and let the creative magic flow through an old-school mechanical typewriter from the 1920s to the 1970s. Use the library’s typewriters or bring your own during the digital detox, distraction-free day of writing. For more information, visit abqlibrary.org/cherryhills.

    5. Have fun with the whole family at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center this weekend. Get in on the Bingo action from 1-2:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, and stay for the ninja course family game night from 6-8 p.m. Get the squad together for family flag football every Saturday in September from 11:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. in the half-court gym.
