Wow, it’s getting crazy around here, both with the impending triple-digit temps as well as a slew of events and activities all over our lovely Duke City.

Last weekend was the Wine Festival, and despite the gorgeous weather, it just seemed a little lackluster this time around.  Less wineries, less yummy samples . . . or was it just me?

Never mind that, this weekend tons is going on for you to eat, sample, savor, and relish.

The Saturday Downtown Grower’s Market is starting up, and you can get your fresh produce, cheese, eggs, and honey in the delightful Robinson Park.

Sunday there is the third annual Local Food Festival and Field Day. At the Gutierrez-Hubbell House at 6029 Isleta SW, from 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.  Taste goodies from local chefs and food producers, gardening workshops, and live musical-ly stuff.

Enjoy the steamy weather, and keep eating local food – it’s good for the tummy.
