Canyon's "Christmas In Canyon" Dec 3

If you're from the area, you're probably very familiar with Christmas in Canyon. You have to hand it to Amarillo's neighbors to the south; they really know how to throw a party.

There will be the parade of lights this year, chances to see Santa and get your photos taken care of, and this year there is a big surprise.

Let's just say they're making up for July 4 at this year's Christmas in Canyon.

The Somewhat Small Towns of the Texas Panhandle

Say what now? Somewhat small?

That's right. These are the towns that seem massive when compared to teensy weensie two-stoplight towns like Pringle (30) or Kerrick (25), but they're definitely not on the same level as cities like White Deer or Panhandle....much less Amarillo.

Buckle up! We've got a places to go and towns to see! These populations are well over 100, but way less than 1000.

All aboard the Somewhat Small Texas Panhandle Towns tour!
