Tri State Fairgrounds

The West Texas Ranch Rodeo returns to Amarillo, experience all the ranch rodeo action at the Amarillo National Center

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 the fact that the Tri State Fair is back in town. I hate the fact that I have to miss it this year. I am not complaining because I got a precious new granddaughter out of the deal. Working from Dallas this week means I will not be home in time before the fair leaves.

Covid kept a lot of events away last year. So this is the year to bring them all back. One that we look forward to every summer is back. I am talking about the Harley Party to benefit Family Support Services.

Business Connection has been a thing in Amarillo for almost thirty years. Of course they had to hit the pause button as did most of the world last year. This year they are ready to get us all connected again.

This of course is the time of all times to get your shopping on. Whether you decide to take part in Black Friday coming up there is one that is even more important for Amarillo. We need to go and support Small Business Saturday.

So how bummed were you when you heard the announcement that the Amarillo Tri-State Far was being cancelled? Oh I saw everyone upset about the lack of fair food this year. I mean we count on the artery clogging goodness.
