Mid-Week Matters: Bruce Cabot, Eddy County's Hollywood Legend and This Week's Community Events

Happy Wednesday, Eddy County. The halfway point of the week brings a fresh slate of community gatherings and a trip back to the golden age of Hollywood, right from our own backyard. This week's episode of Mid-Week Matters covers what's happening around the county and shines a light on a Carlsbad legend most people may not know.The episode highlights a busy week of upcoming events, including the Pan-Asian Celebration at SENMC today, the Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Walk tomorrow morning, the Spring Arts and Crafts Fair at the Cascades Center, the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, and Jordan Allen's New Mexico debut at the Cavern Theater benefiting Creative Carlsbad. In Community Corner, podcasting student Endymion DeVere delivers his first class project and the spotlight turns to Bruce Cabot — born Etienne de Pellissier Boujac Jr. right here in Carlsbad in 1904 — who went from oil fields and boxing rings to Hollywood stardom, facing King Kong on the silver screen and riding the range alongside John Wayne across nearly 100 films. His story ends where it began, buried here in Carlsbad.FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK: We will bring the interviews from the SENMC Steam Expo and Open House to the airwaves!Aired on KCCC 930 AM Radio and available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and through the Local Dispatch (kccc930am.substack.com) or our website (www.kccc930am.com).The Eddy County Dispatch, presented by KCCC 930 AM is a reader-supported publication.
