The Clarendon College Invitational Judging Contest will attract a huge crowd and likely double the population of the town on Saturday as the biggest of three events that day.
As of Tuesday, more than 2,460 contestants were registered for the judging contest. The number of registrations doesn’t include the hundreds of parents and coaches who accompany the students to the contest. According to the 2020 US Census, Clarendon has a population of less than 2,000 people.
Past contests have had huge impacts on the local economy. Restaurants are typically packed for the event, and this year will hopefully be equally successful.
Also, the Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department and Donley County EMS will hold their annual pancake breakfast and hamburger lunch at the Fire Hall again Saturday morning beginning at 7 a.m. with lunch starting at 11 a.m.
Also at 11 a.m. Saturday, the Pony Parents will hold their annual Community Egg Hunt on the Courthouse lawn. Hundreds of kids will be gathering up thousands of eggs at that event.
