Lea County and the City of Hobbs are set to host the Lea County Tiny Census Concerts (TCC) series of local performers, beginning August 20th. Originally a series created and hosted by the group strategizing for the entire state’s complete count on the 2020 Census known as iCountNM, the City of Hobbs and Lea County realized the impact of such an event series. Through the Lea County Tiny Census Concerts, local performers will perform weekly on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. on Facebook Live feeds on the City and County’s Facebook pages to entertain, express the importance of the Census in their lives, and each concert will end with over $1,000 in gift card giveaways!The gift cards were purchased from local Lea County businesses, including Brown’s Show Fit Co., Martin Boot Co., Albertsons Market, Drylands Brewing Co., Taqueria Jalisco’s, Jimenez Rancho Grande, Undergrounds Coffee Co., Outlaw Grill, and Cornerstone Coffeehouse. Each gift card is for $100, and there are six (6) cards available from each business. In order to qualify for entry in the gift card raffle, a viewer of the TCC must complete their 2020 Census online at 2020census.gov and submit their confirmation code to the email address census@leacounty.net prior to the giveaway at the end of every concert.
