Amarillo Celebrating National Tourism Week

The City of Amarillo plans to celebrate National Tourism Week May 2nd - 11th (nationwide 3rd - 11th).  You might be asking yourself what exactly there is in Amarillo that could be a tourist attraction.  Living here, we tend to forget that with 2 popular highways crossing through the city, Amarillo is a nice place to stop for rest, food and even fun.  There's a lot more to do in Amarillo than you think!  So even if you live in the area, you should get out and drink the city's attractions in!

From the world famous Cadillac Ranch, Palo Duro Canyon, Texas Air & Space Museum, Panhandle Plains Historical Museum and many other attractions that you could literally live here and not even be aware of, there's something to catch the eye of travelers.

I'm interested to see how many tourists make a stop through Amarillo during tourism week.

I'm also very curious how many people wonder what the hell we're doing with that huge set of legs with socks on them at I-27 & the Sundown Lane overpass...  I bet a lot of selfies are taken out here...
