CORRALES — Viva Corrales!, a communitywide celebration in the village, begins April 26-27.
The weekend will start with the annual remudding of the Historic Old Church from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The event is put on by the Corrales Historical Society and has been practiced for at least 100 years.
Sunday will be jam-packed with activities. According to the MainStreet, Rides, Strides and Giddyup will give a number of demonstrations to safely enjoy walking and riding paths and what to do if people encounter horses, bikes and other pedestrians along the way.
Corrales Horse and Mule People, Corrales Equestrian Advisory Commission and 4-H will be hosting equestrian activities and education at Top Form Arena. This will include a petting zoo and other family-friendly activities and projects.
The local growers will also begin their regular season, along with Sandoval County's Master Gardeners, who will be selling plant starts. Events will take place at the Corrales Rec Center and Top Form Arena alongside the New Gym.
Sunday's part of the event will also focus on health with the Health & Wellness Event from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Jones Road. Sara Osuski, president of the Rio Rancho Women's Business Center, and Presbyterian Medical Services are hosting the event.
Osuski said this is the second year in a row the event has been put on as part of the Viva Corrales! celebration.
"Corrales MainStreet and village of Corrales have come together to create this healing experience that will connect attendees with health and wellness products and services in and around the Corrales area," she said.
Vendors will be on site to introduce their various modalities through mini services, consultations, demonstrations, discounts, giveaways and samples. There is no fee for entry, and all ages are welcome, according to Osuski.
