A new hot-dog guy has come to Evergreen.

Tom Becker has planted his rolling hot-dog cart — Tom’s Daily Dog — near Safeway. He loves to chat with customers, and buying a hot dog from him is quite entertaining.

In the hands of Evergreen High School, “Seussical the Musical” is an infectious delight.

The show is based on the beloved works of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.

Kids of all ages — including the adult variety — will enjoy this comical and light-hearted musical treat.

A new arts group has formed with the idea of promoting the area’s artistic, historic and recreational resources as a cultural destination and artistic platform, in the way that Taos and Santa Fe have defined the arts and images of New Mexico.

Since July, the Evergreen Arts and Cultural Alliance, spearheaded by Steve Sumner, executive director of the Center for the Arts Evergreen, has been meeting almost monthly to come up with a vehicle for marketing the arts.
