The continuing rise of COVID-19 cases has led to multiple holiday functions in Clarendon being canceled or postponed this season.
The Christmas in Clarendon craft fair scheduled for this Saturday has been cancelled, according to the Clarendon Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber still encourages everyone to Shop Small this Saturday as well as Black Friday.

The Courthouse Lighting ceremony this Saturday will be a drive-by viewing only this year. The lights will be turned on at 6:00 p.m. as planned, but there will not be music or Santa.
The Lighting Committee asks everyone drive by and enjoy the lights. To eliminate traffic congestion, enter the square from Third and Sully, driving south, turn right onto Fourth passing the Annex, turn right onto Jefferson passing the jail and another right onto Third, finishing up back at the corner of Third and Sully. The Committee appreciates everyone who provided funds and prayers and everyone who helps decorate.
The Mulkey Theatre and the Donley County Community Fund board also has postponed Sunday’s scheduled Polar Express event. Organizers hope the event can be rescheduled next month if cases of COVID-19 subside. The Mulkey will be open and showing Elf this weekend on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday afternoon at 2:00. Donations to the community fund made through Monday will still be accepted and amplified by the Amarillo Area Foundation.
The Saints’ Roost Museum’s annual Christmas party fundraiser, which would have been held next weekend, has also been postponed.
Museum officials said even a “COVID-style” virtual drawing presents challenges and risks the Museum Board is not willing to accept. The Board feels this change of plans is best for the safety of all. Watch for a rescheduled date in the Spring of 2021.
All tickets already sold for the Museum fundraiser will be held over until the event is rescheduled. If you have already purchased a ticket and have questions or concerns, please contact the Board member from whom you purchased the ticket.
