Friends and colleagues gathered at the Pan American Center on Thursday, July 13, in a room named for the guest of honor, Barbara Hubbard, to celebrate her 90th birthday. Known as “Mother Hubbard” to folks in the entertainment business worldwide, she was instrumental in attracting some of the biggest acts of the era to perform in the Pan Am. With Hubbard still working with the connections she has made, some of the greatest entertainers of the past 50 years have entertained Las Crucens at the Pan Am. You may have heard of one of her friends who dropped by a few months ago to play a few songs. He goes by the name of Garth Brooks.
