This summer, Fort Bliss and El Paso are inviting all Borderland residents .. military and civilian alike ... to dance, party and mingle just in time for Armed Forces Day.
In El Paso, any holiday is cause for a party. If said holiday falls on a weekday, we'll party anyway ... and/or go early. Halloween costume parties especially.
For years, I never honored Labor Day by refusing to labor and going to one of the last backyard/bbq/swim parties of the year. I was usually laboring my butt off.
Due to the coronavirus, El Pasoans won’t be able to do these things for a while – not only because we are still under the city’s emergency ordinance until June 10th but because we are a rowdy bunch.
