Down-home Dine' cooking by caterer Cleo Otero and the musical stylings of Eileen & The In-Betweens will round out the evening.
The 24-page hand-illustrated book chronicles developments and public meetings surrounding the creation and adoption of a fracking ordinance in Sandoval County, and is designed to raise awareness of the issues and invite both discussion and participation by the public at large.

"The oil and gas development has pretty much destroyed our way of life. Our livestock are suffering too. I have been a livestock owner for many years. I made my living by raising sheep and cattle. Now, I am being told by BLM I can only have so many sheep and cattle. My grazing area is getting less and less. But BLM is leasing more and more of the lands to oil and gas development. Soon, there will be nothing left. I believe this is going to happen. My biggest concern is our water, sooner or later it will be contaminated and we will not be able to use our water. How can we get these companies out?"
