THE BURNING OF OLD MAN GLOOM IN SANTA FE IS MONTHS AWAY. BUT YESTERDAY (WED), THE SANTA FE KIWANIS CLUB STARTED BUILDING ZOZOBRA AT SANTA FE PLACE MALL. JODI MCGINNIS PORTER WITH THE KIWANIS TELLS US THEY TEND TO BUILD THE GIANT PUPPET IN A DIFFERENT PLACE EACH YEAR. SHE SAYS ZOZOBRA’S A BIG GUY, SO HE TAKES A WHILE TO CONSTRUCT.
THE EVENT WEDNESDAY ALLOWED PEOPLE TO WRITE OUT THEIR GLOOMS AND STUFF THEM INSIDE ZOZOBRA.
THE SANTA FE CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAS TO VOTE ON A NEW 90 FOOT BRIDGE AT FORT MARCY PARK, WHERE ZOZOBRA GETS BURNED DOWN EACH YEAR. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO GO INTO AND OUT OF THE PARK.
