center city

I am the first to say that Center City hosts a lot of great events throughout the year. A lot of fun things that the community can't wait to join in on the fun. They have their High Noon on the Square. A great lunch and plenty of entertainment.

The many painted horses of Amarillo are all over town, with a large number of them gathering downtown.

Who is ready for the holiday season? I mean we will have it here before you know it and the word came out on Friday about the Electric Light Parade.

One of the best things about the summer months is we get outside and do a lot more. I feel that fall sometimes gets a bad wrap. We still do things outdoors but the events change. We get cold while we are out at football games and other outdoor stuff.

We know that summer is here when we get the notice that the Amarillo Community Market is set to have their opening day this weekend. This is one event that was not officially cancelled last year.

Nothing has been worse than seeing everything that we loved last year get cancelled. We get it. We were living through a freaking pandemic. Who knew that was going to be a year in the making.

Skip the yearbook ad and honor your 2021 graduating Senior with a giant banner displayed in downtown Amarillo's Center City!

In a year that has had more downs than ups it is nice to have something that is able to happen. We have had many events have to cancel. We have had others that decided to postpone until a later date. Some events have been able to find a way to go on.

The summer of 2020 is coming to an end and with that one of our beloved summer activities also has to call it a season. The Amarillo Community Market has seen some challenges this year but it has survived and done great.

The Potter County Courthouse has been the location for High Noon on the Square for years and years. In fact they celebrated their 25th year last summer. To say it has been a mainstay for many here in Amarillo would be an understatement.

We all know that the graduates this year have encountered an interesting school year. They have all missed out on a regular graduations. They have been able to have virtual graduations that started with them at a location social distancing. Amarillo is trying to do all they can to make the Class of 2020 feel special.

Nothing screams summer more that the Amarillo Community Market. Walking from booth to booth to see all the great items for sale.
