Lemonade Day has been a part of the Amarillo community for a few years now. It's a great day that kids learn all about starting and running a business. What better way to learn than by opening up their own lemonade stand?

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. Right? I mean one family did just that figuratively and well literally. Last week there was a big Lemonade Day Expo at the West Texas Enterprise Center.

People in our area have a love hate relationship with Toot n Totum's. They either really love them or would rather push their car across town to get gas. I fall in the later category.

Are they being run out of town? Or are they a victim of the pandemic?

Over the weekend seems like a great time to accomplish some tasks at your house. I bet your kids room could use a little tidying up. Do you ever look at their bookshelf and just know you need to get rid of some of them?

So can we just all admit that 2021 has definitely been a better year than the last one? I mean things that had cancelled left and right are now back. This makes it a little easier to get in the Christmas spirit.

After a year of everything shutting down and cancelling this is the year that things are happening again. Last years Canyon Chamber of Commerce Chow Down had to cancel. This year not so much.

It's that time of the year. The Amarillo Chamber Good Times Celebration Barbecue Cook Off. It is happening tonight. For the first time we are all heading to the Tri State Fairgrounds to get our barbecue on.

I love having new places to eat. It's even more exciting when they move in close to my work in Downtown Amarillo. Even better when it is in my building. So there is a close choice for me to eat at and a new place totally in Downtown Amarillo.

Hot Air Balloons are just so cool to look at. That is why so many people flock to Albuquerque for the Balloon Festival there. What can you do if you don't live near there or don't want to drive the four hours it takes? Don't worry Amarillo has something to offer you.

Happy State Bank says they will begin processing the loans applications Friday January 15 after business hours.

This is the most wonderful time of the year. We are getting ready to have our Thanksgiving meal this week however different it may be this year. Then we will be on our way to all the Christmas goodness.
