Good morning, Amarillo.

The Fritch Volunteer Fire Department hosted Lake Meredith’s Memorial Day Bash on Saturday in Fritch — a fundraiser for the department and local small businesses — to kick off summer.

The event featured food trucks, vendors, cornhole tournaments, a car show and fireworks.

Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery hosted a Memorial Day flag ceremony to honor veterans where families and Boy Scouts Troop 10 led the event—Patriot Guard Riders lined the front with flags for over 3,000 soldiers laid to rest.

The cemetery remains open during Memorial Day weekend for guests to place American flags on the graves as a sign of respect.

Rumors bar in Amarillo is set to reopen this summer with fresh drink specials, games, and pool and dart leagues—staffing events on June 12th and June 14th will fill bartender, barback, and waitress positions to help revive its historic appeal.

Amarillo food delivery drivers are earning less now because of rising costs, fewer tips, and more competition plus tougher requirements from DoorDash.

Many drivers report making only $200 to $300 per week compared to the $500 they once earned and hope that improved market conditions will help restore better pay.

Potter County Fire-Rescue warns residents that even though the burn ban ended on May 13 due to technical qualifications, crews continue to combat nearly daily wildfires on Highway 136 amid dry, high-risk conditions—residents should remain alert as risks persist.
