‘The Whole Enchilada Fiesta’ 1987 Ginny Reynolds Signed Poster
An enduring symbol of Las Cruces pride, The Whole Enchilada Fiesta was once one of New Mexico’s most beloved annual celebrations — a joyful mix of food, music, and community centered around the creation of the world’s largest enchilada. From 1980 to 2014, the event united the region each fall, becoming a cherished local tradition and a reflection of the Mesilla Valley’s generous spirit.
This 1987 commemorative poster, signed in pencil by Ginny Reynolds, captures the quiet magic of that heritage. Against the twilight sky, the Organ Mountains rise beyond a glowing Las Cruces skyline, their reflection glimmering across the desert landscape. Reynolds’ delicate watercolor technique brings a calm, contemplative beauty to the scene — a poetic contrast to the lively festivities the Fiesta inspired.
Professionally framed and double matted behind glass, this piece honors both the artistry and the nostalgia of an event that defined Las Cruces for generations.
