What's Happening in Amarillo This Weekend April 30

These are the kinds of weekends I live for. There's so much going on in Bomb City this weekend I can't even list it all here, but I will give you a few things that I think are pretty cool and will attend at least one or two of them!

TEE IT UP FORE AUTISM

Calling all golfers! Here is a 2 person scramble golf tournament taking place Saturday, May 1 at Ross Rogers (Wild Horse). It's $210 for a 2 person team to get entered, which isn't bad considering greens fees aren't cheap these days. The best part is, the proceeds benefit Autism United. There will be several contests including: closest to the pin, long drive and a whole lot more.

LEMONADE DAY

One of the coolest things around. It all kicks off at 10:30am on Saturday in the United Supermarkets parking lot on 45th & Bell. It's a chance for kids to start learning young about starting your own business, and it all starts right here with creating their own lemonade stand! Best part for us? We have LOTS of lemonade to consume, which is one of my favorite drinks.

STREET TOYOTA'S CINCO DE MAYO FESTIVAL

Here's a fun little event for the whole family to attend. Happening Saturday from 12-2pm at Street Toyota, you'll be able to do some face painting, indulge in some delicious street tacos (my fave) all while being entertained by a live mariachi band! 4500 S. Soncy Rd is where you'll find this little party.

Get on out this weekend Amarillo!

Say You're From Amarillo Without Saying You're From Amarillo

Amarillo is a pretty quirky place. We've got the Big Texan, the weird signs, and (obviously) the famed Cadillac Ranch. But more than that, there's a distinct culture of close-knit community, eccentrics, a thriving arts scene, and much more.

The point is, living in Amarillo is a unique experience. Because of that, it's really pretty easy to tell who's a native or a long-time resident. And I can prove it.

Here's a couple of ways you can say you're from Amarillo.....without saying you're from Amarillo.
