Village of Ruidoso Insider - Volume 48: August 2025
Resilience in the Wake: A Community United After the Floods
This month’s issue opens with a heartfelt message from Mayor Lynn Crawford, honoring the lives lost in July’s devastating flash floods while recognizing the unshakable strength of the Ruidoso community. As neighbors lend their hands and hearts to the ongoing recovery, stories of generosity, determination, and unity abound—from volunteer cleanup crews to long-term mitigation planning that is already underway.
Inside this issue, you’ll find updates on council decisions, emergency alert systems, and disaster preparedness resources—including a new live RAIN Map and essential guidance for customizing phone alerts. We highlight youth-led mural projects, job openings across Village departments, and the return of students and staff for the 2025–2026 school year.
There’s no shortage of local spirit or events this month, from the Brewdoso festival and outdoor concerts at Wingfield Park to XTERRA Ruidoso and late-summer cultural gatherings. Plus, read about the latest edition of Ridgeline Review, new businesses in Midtown, and renovations at the Convention Center.
Whether you’re lending support to a neighbor, savoring a summer evening downtown, or preparing for the new school year, this month’s Insider reflects the heart of Ruidoso: caring, connected, and forward-looking.
