Endangered Species Day at the Amarillo Zoo

Any time you can go to the zoo, it's a good day. When it's to celebrate it's even better. That's what the Amarillo Zoo is doing on Saturday as they raise awareness for these endangered species. It's not just a learning experience as the Amarillo Zoo is home to several endangered species, so you'll get to see them as well. The event takes place from 9:30am-3:00pm.

Amarillo Sod Poodles

The boys of summer are in action all weekend long, and there's a lot of excitement at Hodgetown this weekend. Our Sod Poodles are only half a game out of first place and take on the Midland RockHounds. Both Friday and Saturday night will feature fireworks, then Sunday will bring out the bobblehead collectors as they're giving away a Buddy Reed bobble. You can get tickets for the games here.

Plenty to do in Bomb City this weekend, so don't miss out!
