The New Mexico River of Lights is a revered tradition for many people living in and visiting the Land of Enchantment. Starting originally in 1997, it has become a special yearly occurrence that offers live music, arts and crafts, a Polar Bear Express train and, of course, a river of lights. Displays include running animals, snowmen, luminarias and Snoopy.

This year’s presentation contains a total of 400 light sculptures. It will run from the end of November to the beginning of January.

PHOTO STORY: Comedian, America’s Got Talent finalist brings laughs to students

Students gathered together Wednesday evening to see Ryan Niemiller, a third-place finalist from Season 14 of America’s Got Talent. Niemiller often made jokes related to the life he lives due to his disability, bringing up some of the challenges — but also amusing events — that occur. Toward the end of the show, Niemiller presented the opportunity for anyone in the audience to ask questions, whether that was about his disability, AGT or anything else. Students got a laugh out of this as Niemiller often gave comedic responses to the questions. Preston Rogers is a freelance photographer for the Daily Lobo.
