Take the Challenge!
Artesia Chamber of Commerce puts the emphasis on youth during the annual Take the Challenge event. Formerly known as No Drugs No Gangs Drink Milk, our Take the Challenge event broadens the message to encourage Artesia's youth to take the challenge of life -- dream big for life goals and work hard to reach them. Staying off drugs, out of gangs, and living a healthy lifestyle are keys to your goals.
We bring the best in entertainment that will capture the attention of our school age kids - from kindergarten to high school. Assemblies in the schools, which include a presentation by Southwest Dairy Farmers' Mobile Dairy Classroom, ensures that almost every kid in Artesia will get a glimpse of the fun and an earful of the message from an entertainer to whom they can relate. An evening performance promises more of the same to the entire community and visitors.
In 2009, Break Sk8, from MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, dazzled Artesians at every age with their dance moves on rollerskates. Their message was loud and clear -- stay off drugs and stay focused on what you love to do, even when it doesn't seem cool. You can reach goals beyond your imagination!
