  • Here are a few of our favorite events from around the state:   September 8–10 Rock out with live music at the  Clovis Music Festival. Also on tap will be tours of the Norman Petty Studio and the Norman and Vi Petty Rock and Roll Museum, the Rockin’ Motorcycle Rally and a car show.

    By Michael Swickard • Commentary • America is at a critical crossroads. The government must reinstall a business climate so that the manufacturing sector can lift the nation out of this recession - or we can continue using government to keep people from being productive.
