This weekend, it’s District 1 Councilor Deb Dapson’s turn.

Dapson will host her event from 11 a.m. to 1p.m. July 20 at at Rainbow Pool, 301 Southern Blvd. SE.

We have free ice cream, games, activities, giveaways, and demonstrations provided by City staff,” Dapson said “The District 1 event will offer hands-only CPR demonstrations, the police department’s mobile command unit and more from other city departments. The Rio Rancho Rainbow Park Observatory will also be open for the event. I would encourage all District 1 residents to come join us.”
