Good morning, Amarillo.

United Way of Amarillo & Canyon exceeded its annual fundraising goal in just nine months, raising $3.5 million and impacting 85,211 lives in 2025.

The nonprofit hosted a celebration on Feb. 26 at the Grand Plaza at the Civic Center (award winners received top honors).

Amarillo Public Library’s Northwest Branch (6100 SW 9th Ave) is seeking donations of electronic toys for its annual Toy Take Apart event, where children learn how toys work by taking them apart.

Donations can be dropped off at any APL location before the March event.

On Sunday, Mar. 1, high school students gathered at the Commercial Exhibits Hall at the Tri State Fairgrounds to learn about ag sciences and career paths from Texas A&M’s AGLS — the program will return to the Panhandle in 2027.

Local records show that February was the warmest month in Amarillo history + experts note the unusual warmth may raise wildfire concerns across the Panhandle.

Families planning a spring break staycation can enjoy Amarillo's parks, trails, and indoor activities, including hiking Palo Duro Canyon & exploring the Don Harrington Discovery Center and Urban Air Adventure Park.

These options promise fun and affordable adventures for all ages.
