A Message From Chamber Director Ryn Herrmann: This Is Not Your Normal Small Business Saturday
Director
Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce
As the holiday season approaches, I can’t help thinking about last year’s Small Business Saturday in Los Alamos and White Rock. The county was bustling with people doing their holiday shopping, taking advantage of the many special deals that Small Business Saturday always offers and getting their Blue Bucks raffle tickets, hoping to be the big winner.
This year, as the current two-week shutdown “reset” continues, some of those businesses we shopped at last year are closed, and many are now struggling to stay open. Small Business Saturday

McQuiston: Don’t Be A Turkey … Holiday Deep Frying Tips
The Jemez Agency
Thanksgiving is upon us and as I write this column I am already imagining the deliciousness. My mouth is literally starting to water as I type this. Mmm.
There are many ways to cook your holiday turkey, such as roasting it, slow cooking it in a crockpot, smoking it, etc. Deep frying has been popular because if done right, the results are a bird with super crisp skin, moist meat, and a fabulous flavor.
However, if you want to deep fry your turkey, be very careful! For the safety of your home and family, only attempt this outside away from buildings or flammable material.
