If you look around where you live, you might find something interesting you didn't know existed. In Amarillo and Canyon, you can find those hidden gems around every corner or down a dirt road. Sometimes you just come across something that must be shared, and that is exactly why you have to check out this little farm stand just outside of Canyon, Texas, on South Washington. Castro Family Farm is a small farm stand located at 22100 FM 1541, and it is absolutely adorable.

If you spend time on social media, you will find a lot of things that make you go hmm. Amarillo has plenty of social media pages and a lot of people who comment about things in their lives, how they liked or disliked a business or restaurant, and rumors they heard. One recent rumor got our attention: Is the TEXAS Outdoor Musical ending?

Just because the 4th of July is over doesn't mean other celebrations have to end. There is still plenty of time left to celebrate the summer and all the activities around the Texas Panhandle. About 30 minutes east of Amarillo is the small town of Claude. Although Claude may be small, they know how to celebrate. That's why you need to mark your calendars for Saturday, July 11th, because they are celebrating big, and it's a celebration you don't want to miss.

In April 2025, we shared with you that Marshalls was moving into Amarillo and confirmed the rumor was true in December 2025. This popular department store would be joining its sister stores, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. Marshalls would soon be taking over the old Joann Fabrics building on Soncy. This store is going to be a great addition to Amarillo shopping. We have a grand opening date! We reached out to Marshalls corporate and asked when the new store would be opening.

The great thing about Amarillo is that there are restaurants all over the city. There is no shortage of places to eat. Every year, Amarillo has multiple new restaurants that open, bringing new cuisine to the residents of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle. From burgers to barbecue to international cuisines, new restaurants are popping up from east to west and all over the Texas Panhandle. Some of the new restaurants are chains, others are local, and the others are food trucks.

The helium plant in Amarillo is slowly transforming from something old into something new and beautiful. The historic plant is getting a new life. While the renovation is a slow process, the owners are hosting fun and unique events. Lori Crofford Lori Crofford During the Route 66 Festival, Helium Heights hosted the Route 66 Market over two days. Vendors with all sorts of wares, food trucks, and live music were at the event, which also had highland cows.

The Lumberyard's awesome summer concert lineup continues with Alabama's own Muscadine Bloodline. They may have 'Bama roots, but their blend of country and Southern rock is perfect for a night of live music and dancing in Texas. They're taking the outdoor stage at The Lumberyard in Canyon on Saturday, August 8, and we want you to be there. For your chance to win tickets, just fill out the easy entry form below. We'll get in touch if your name is drawn.

One of the great things about summer is the farmers and crafters markets. The Amarillo area has many to choose from, and they are a must-visit every weekend. The thing about these markets is that they are usually open from June until the end of September. One of the great farmers and crafters markets is Sunset Marketown. This is the market that replaced the Amarillo Market a few years ago.

America is turning 250 this year, and millions of Texans will be traveling and celebrating for the holiday. The 4th of July holiday has historically been one of the deadliest in the Lone Star State. However, more people will be celebrating this year, which means more parties, more travel, and more deaths. According to AAA Texas, 5.7 million Texans will be traveling, and 4 million of those will be traveling by vehicle.
