Your Can Vote for Local Book Project
Many of you have voted in the Pepsi Refresh grant program for the exhibit that accompanies the One Nation One Year book from Rio Grande Books. The top ten get the money. You can vote once a day every day during April. You can vote HERE!
If this works it may be a way to help underwrite the cost of books here in New Mexico if you have a project that fits the Pepsi Refresh criteria. Thank you to everyone who has been voting.
