Community Events — Download the 2009 Calendar of Events HereMore than 45 New Mexico communities stage approximately 100 preservation events in May, many of them becoming annual tours, hikes to restricted archaeological sites and demonstrations of traditional practices handed down from generation to generation. Lectures, presentation of oral histories and film screenings also are examples of Preservation Month events held across the state. HPD publishes 5,000 copies of a Calendar of Events as a user guide, giving Preservation Month participants a map to events held statewide in May. The guide comes with photos and stories of historic sites on the State and National registers. People have begun to request HPD hold multiple preservation months with calendars to accompany them, although currently events are held only in May. Hosting communities receive copies of the Preservation Month poster to help them promote their events. Deadline HPD enourages you to provide us with information about your community Heritage Preservation Month event. To include your community event in the Calendar of Events, please fill out a Heritage Preservation Month Event Form and return it to HPD via e-mail, or by mailing it to HPD on or before February 27, 2009. The Calendar is published in April, one month before Preservation Month, to allow adequate planning and publicity for events. Photo attachments pertaining to your event are encouraged. Awards
The awards ceremony features live music and is followed by a reception for all award recipients. In 2007, original members of the Fireballs, George Tomsco and Stan Lark, performed in honor of Kenneth and Shirley Broad for their work preserving the Norm Petty Recording Studios, in Clovis, where they and Buddy Holly recorded many of their hits. Since 1970, the New Mexico Cultural Properties Review Committee (CPRC) has annually presented Heritage Preservation Awards to individuals, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and to state and federal agencies that have made significant contributions to the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and interpretation of the state's unique archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage. Anyone can nominate an individual, organization, agency or business for a Heritage Preservation Award by completing the nomination form (download below). Typically between ten to 14 awards are given at a formal ceremony that takes place each May as part of New Mexico's Heritage Preservation Month festivities.
