Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail, Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way. Oh, and Easter will be here before you know it. There is so much to do but so little time.

I love scrolling through Facebook and looking at photos from Amarillo that other people post. They capture some really nice sunrises and sets. I do believe that we have the best view from our beloved city.

Special occasions usually call for some very special supplies. I mean usually, you hunt down the perfect decorations. That may mean balloons. Probably some nice plates. Maybe a few banners. So much to consider.

When you think about what kind of stuff there is to do in Amarillo your first thought may be the nightlife. Where can you go dancing? Where can you see live music? You might wonder what kind of family fun there is in town. What can the kids do?

Amarillo has a lot of places that are known for taking photos. Whether it's for a wedding, prom, or even family photos Amarillo has it all. It's hard to drive downtown on a Saturday and not see photos being taken at a local place like Polk Street or one of our many churches.

I am the first to say that Center City hosts a lot of great events throughout the year. A lot of fun things that the community can't wait to join in on the fun. They have their High Noon on the Square. A great lunch and plenty of entertainment.

With Halloween coming and going last week, you would think that would end the season for the pumpkin patches and farms in the area. If you are a smart business you find a way to keep the fun going.

The Halloween season is all about being scared. Well, that and candy of course. We watch a ton of horror movies. We decorate our homes for trick-or-treaters. We, of course, make sure we have plenty of candy for them as well.

If you get on social media and don't find anything about Hocus Pocus you are just not trying. After almost thirty years everyone is going crazy over the second part. It took that long to revisit the favorite.
