Sitzmarker Event – RV/Camping at Angel Fire Resort

Hello, fellow Sitzmarker members!  Phil and Cindy Newman are planning on hosting an RV/cabin event at the Angel Fire Resort on the nights of August 29, 30, and 31, 2026.  Given the popularity of this location, it is not too early to mark your calendars and make reservations for this event.  We expect that the Angel Fire Resort will fill up quickly.  The Angel Fire Resort is among the top RV resorts in the country with large, paved sites, on-site activities, a great club house, spa, as well as pickleball courts.  They also have new cabins which are part of the RV park.  Tents are not allowed. The Resort is located in one of the most beautiful locations in northern New Mexico where elk, deer, and eagles are frequent visitors.  Check out the resort at: Angel Fire Luxury RV Resort – New Mexico on Enchanted Circle.  This particular rally will appeal to those who want a more upscale experience and the option to participate in many planned activities.  Some of these activities may include:

  1. Welcome Dutch Treat Dinner in Red River
  2. Vietnam Memorial tour
  3. Pickleball play and instruction (equipment provided)
  4. Horseshoe Contest, ping pong playing, corn hole play
  5. Option for hiking, golf, or fly fishing
  6. Planned bike/e-bike rides
  7. Planned picnic by the lake (option drive or ride bike to lake)
  8. Progressive dinner
  9. Game night
  10. Chair lift and picnic at top of Angle Fire mountain
  11. Chuckwagon dinner show in Red River

You will need to make your own reservations by calling Angel Fire Resort directly.  The resort’s phone number is 575-377-4472.  Remember, if you don’t have your own RV, you can rent one or stay in one of their cabins.  If you are making a reservation for an RV spot, ask them to put you as close to Phil Newman as possible. IMPORTANT: Please contact the Sitzmarker’s Angel Fire Event host, Phil Newman at 214-437-3734, after you call and make resort reservations. He will provide you with additional details.  We expect this to be a great event.  Hope you can join us!

TOPGOLF

SNO-Thursday, February 12, 5:30 pm

 

Attention all Sitzmarkers, friends of Sitzmarkers, golfers and want-to-be golfers-no experience needed!  To kick off 2026, mark your calendar for what we believe will be one of the most fun and enjoyable social events of the year.

On February 12, we plan to meet at Top Golf in Albuquerque for an evening of fun, laughter, food, and sportsmanship as we all try to hit the ball to the correct spot.  No previous golfing experience is necessary, and golf clubs are provided, or bring your own.   We plan to meet at 5:30 where we will all purchase our play tickets.  Food and adult beverages are available for purchase.  Depending on how many will be attending, we may be able to reserve special golf bays.

The golfing area is heated and covered so weather will not be an issue.  You must RSVP with your intent.  If enough people plan on attending, we will get discounts.  It is expected the cost will be about $20 for golf play, if we don’t get any discounts.  Please RSVP to Phil Newman (C) 214 437-3734 by January 31.  We are looking forward to having some fun with other duffers and want-to-be duffers!

Enjoy year-round comfort in our hitting bays with cooling fans in the summer and heated bays in the winter, all with HDTVs in every bay and throughout our sports bar and restaurant. Using our complimentary clubs or your own, take aim at the giant outfield targets and our high-tech balls will score themselves.
