This bill proposes to declare February 4, 2026, as "Lincoln County Day" in the House of Representatives of New Mexico. It highlights the county's rich history, including its iconic outdoor recreation, the significance of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and the historical events of the Lincoln County War, which have shaped the region's identity. The bill also emphasizes the legacy of Smokey Bear, a symbol of wildfire prevention, and the importance of the Ruidoso Downs race track to the local economy and culture.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the resilience of Lincoln County's communities in the face of recent challenges, including natural disasters, and their ongoing efforts to recover and rebuild. It recognizes the county's contributions to New Mexico's heritage, economy, and quality of life, celebrating its agricultural roots, outdoor landscapes, and the spirit of its residents. A copy of the memorial will be sent to the Lincoln County Board of County Commissioners.
