Peter Lipscomb, award-winning astrophotographer, columnist, and stargazer operates Astronomy Adventures. In addition to conducting night sky tours, he serves as Director of the Night Sky Program for the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Alliance. Over the years, he has worked with Anheuser-Busch, Apple Computer, The Bishop's Lodge, Dow Corning, General Electric, Inn of The Anasazi, KPMG, Microsoft, The National Park Service and Chaco Culture National Historic Park, New Mexico State Parks, Osram Opto Semiconductor, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Raytheon Systems, Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau, Taos Pueblo, and Washington Mutual. He has also served as exclusive entertainment for several intimate wedding parties during their special celebrations.

During a tour, Peter engages his guest's interest by bringing the wonders of the night sky into a level that is easily accessible and understood. The general framework of how the sky works and what is seen depending upon the time of year is explained. Major constellations are pointed out. Using star lore based upon Greek mythology and other cultures from around the world, Peter helps place the star formations into a memorable context.

Moving from a broad view of the sky, Peter gradually brings the more remote jewels of the night sky within reach. Through binoculars and telescopes, participants are introduced to close-up views of objects such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. The latest scientific findings about each object are shared to help provide a foundation for a deeper understanding of what is being viewed.

Judy Swan is an award winning leathersmith. She has shipped her work world wide. Her creations have been featured on the premiere 2003 show of the Antiques Road Show, as well as the CBS Morning Show.

Additionally she was asked to write an article for "IronWorks Magazine", July 2007.

Swan also represents many of her artisan friends known for their woodwork, pottery art, jewelry and biker accoutrements, along with the bronze windbells of famed architect Paolo Soleri.

You are welcome to visit her studio and gallery located in Madrid, on the beautiful Turquoise Trail - a National Scenic byway and the location of the filming of the Walt Disney biker comedy WILD HOGS.

Seppanen & Daughters FINE TEXTILES guarantees the results of custom carpets with the understanding that there may be some fluctuation in color due to the fact that these pieces are entirely hand made and therefore dye lots may vary within a reasonable boundary. The Tibetan plateau above Lhasa has been grazing land for flocks of highland sheep for many years, contibuting to the sustainability of nomadic herders and historically providing wool for factories in India and Nepal. Today, due to the elevation and geographic position of this site, the People's Republic of China is showing an increased presence, particularly for the placement of nuclear weapons. Is it only a matter of time that designated areas for the security of nuclear weapons will eliminate grazing land for Tibetan highland sheep?

Tinkertown Museum

Sandia Park, NM 87047

It took Ross Ward over 40 years to carve, collect, and lovingly construct what is now Tinkertown Museum. His miniature wood-carved figures were first part of a traveling exhibit, driven to county fairs and carnivals in the 1960s and '70s. Today over 50,000 glass bottles form rambling walls that surround a 22-room museum. Wagon wheels, old fashioned store fronts, and wacky western memorabilia make Tinkertown's exterior as much as a museum as the wonders within.
Inside, the magic of animation takes over. The inhabitants of a raucous little western town animate to hilarious life. Under the big top, diminutive circus performers challenge tigers and defy gravity while the Fat Lady fans herself and a polar bear teeters and totters.

Throughout, eccentric collections of Americana (wedding cake couples, antique tools, bullet pencils and much, much more) fill Tinkertown's winding hallways. Otto the one-man-band and Esmerelda, the Fortune Teller, need only a quarter to play a tune or predict your future. Through a doorway and across a ramp waits a big-sized surprise: a 35' antique wooden sailboat that braved a 10 year voyage around the world.

Ever a work in progress, Tinkertown is ready to inspire your imagination and awaken your creative spirit. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The Museum of Archaeology & Material Culture

22 Calvary Rd.
Cedar Crest, NM 87008
(505) 281-2005

The Museum of Archaeology and Material Culture was conceived in 1986 when the present director and founder, Bradley F. Bowman, became aware that many important issues dealing with our past weren't being addressed, by museums, in a way in which the general public could benefit. The past belongs to everyone and an understanding of the past has beneficial implications that, used as a guide in decision-making, could result in a better future for everyone. The Museum became a reality in 1995 when the collections found a home in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, on the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway.

The Museum's permanent exhibits deal with the science of Archaeology and History. A 12,000-year-plus Native American timeline is presented from a synthesized scientific and Native American point of view. A grant from the Federal Department of Transportation made possible a computer-enhanced exhibit housed at the Museum, which explores science conducted at Sandia Cave and turquoise mining in the local area. Other exhibits deal with scientific methodologies employed in archaeology. The Museum offers educational field schools to groups, of any age, and is active in New Mexico cultural resource preservation and archaeological research.

The Friends of Tijeras Pueblo, in partnership with the Forest Service, host a variety of events such as "Saturday Afternoon at Tijeras Pueblo", "Star Nights", and special archaeology, pottery and flint knapping workshops. We are proud of our Junior Archaeologist Program and special tours conducted at the Tijeras Pueblo Archaeological site.

Monthly Lecture Series
You can count on the Friends for a stimulating evening program when you attend one of our monthly lecture/programs. The "Featured Program" is held at 7 pm, the second Tuesday of the month (excepting June, July and August when the lecture series is "on vacation"). We meet in the large conference room at the Sandia Ranger Station in Tijeras. We are told that the topics are always interesting and that the refreshments are great. Lectures are presented without charge, but we do ask that you consider making a donation at the door. All donations go to development and implementation of interactive exhibits and educational programs at the new Interpretive Center. Hope to see you there!

Hibben Center Archiving Crew
The Archiving Crew (volunteers) have worked very hard over the past year. Artifacts from Linda Cordell's 1979 Pottery Mound field school have been completed. The collection has been re-bagged, re-boxed, labeled, written up, computerized and shelved.
Now that Tijeras Pueblo and the 1979 Pottery Mound field school have been completed, the Archiving Crew will continue to work through the materials excavated by Dr. Frank Hibben. About 300 boxes have been completed and taccording to Dave Phillips, another 300 have yet to be done. The big push will be to finish archiving the Hibben Pottery Mound material.

To arrange an interesting and educational visit to the archaeological site for your classroom, club or other organization, for inquiries or additional information, just email us at: info@friendsoftijeraspueblo.org

Surrounded by the mountainous terrain and vegetation of the New Mexican high desert, Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club is home to one of the most beautiful, challenging and award-winning courses in the U.S. Our 27-hole public golf course is situated on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, twenty minutes from Albuquerque and 45 minutes from Santa Fe. The golf is stimulating, the views breathtaking and the experience unforgettable.

Our 27-hole public golf course is situated on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 7,000 feet. The layout of the course features landing areas and greens separated by arroyos, native vegetation, and rock outcroppings. Each hole in the upscale course has five sets of tees allowing play from 5,702 to 7,562 yards, and many of the holes play downhill through ponderosa, pinon and juniper. Pro tips for each hole can be found on the virtual tour.

All holes feature spectacular high-desert and mountain views, strong golf-shot values and a serenity not often found anymore. We are thrilled to be one of the most award-winning public access courses ever to open in the U.S. We are even more thrilled when our visitors tell us their experience exceeded the hype.
