Why Amarillo Families Are Excited for School Bash
It’s that time. The kids are not all excited. Some are ready for the new year. Some aren’t ready to get on a schedule. I feel like the parents are starting the countdown.

Event Details: When, Where & What to Expect
Whether you are looking forward to it or not it is about here. There are going to be community events planned as well. One of the biggest ones is put on by Tremaine Brown and Shi Lee’s BBQ and Soul Food. It has been announced – Unity in the Community.
