25 Years ago . . .

This year, Angel Fire celebrates our 25th Anniversary of incorporation as a municipality in the State of New Mexico. As one of the younger incorporated municipalities in the State, we have, nonetheless, quite a long history here in the Moreno Valley and Northern New Mexico.

On April 8, 1986, the first election of the Village of Angel Fire was conducted. The results (57 votes) were:

For Mayor: James Butts (57 votes)
For Council: David Ambrose (53 votes)
Don Loscerbo (43 votes)
Bill Diveley (42 votes)
Alan Sebesta (31 votes)
Christine Herlihy (31 votes)
For Judge: Vickie Hudson (41 votes)

State statutes require that, in a municipal election, any tie vote must be decided by a game of chance or lot. Thus to break the tie between Sebesta and Herlihy, Mayor Butts went to the Colfax County Courthouse in Raton and the County Clerk’s Office, for all the world to see . . . he dealt a hand of five card stud. Alan Sebesta had high hand. The attention drew state and national coverage.

Thanks to the Moreno Valley Writers Guild and Columbine Printing for the above information, found in the book Lure, Lore and Legends.
