The Clarendon Tourism Committee is inviting everyone to the Donley County Courthouse Square next Thursday, July 22, for the 2010 Summer Celebration.
NewsChannel 10 will be broadcasting live at 5:00, 6:00, and 10:00 p.m. Activities scheduled from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. KEFH and KLSR radio stations are also going to be broadcasting from the celebration.
This fun-filled event will showcase Clarendon as a progressive community with a rich heritage of Agriculture, Education, Religion, and the Arts. The Celebration promises to have something for everyone including local musicians, an antique car show, a Farmers’ Market, demonstrations, and raffles.
One of the highlights of the celebration will be the Amarillo Star contest, which is reaching out this year and opening auditions to soloists, duets, trios and quartets.
“We thought it would be fun to add more competition to the event this year by opening the contest up to more than soloists,” said Maryann Hueston, Amarillo Star Chairman. “We look at this as an event to showcase our areas talent and since we encompass the Tri-State area we wanted to open the competition up to groups.”
For more information about the Amarillo Star contest, call (806) 376-7767.
Summer Celebration organizers have also planned games for kids of all ages, such as a dunking booth, water games, a bounce house, a Busy Town Mystery, a greased pig catch, a stick horse rodeo, horseshoes, washers, marbles, sack races, limbo, and more.
Food vendors are scheduled to offer a wide variety of tasty morsels, including candy, sausage wraps, chopped beef sandwiches, stuffed jalapenos, burritos, pizza, cotton candy, nachos, and brownies.
The evening will conclude with a special movie showing of The Karate Kid at the Sandell Drive-In from 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
The tourism committee is working to make this a fun event for all ages, so please contact Terry Askew at 874-5001 or Denise Bertrand at 874-2846 to schedule activities or reserve booth space.
