Panhandle Prairie Sharks 2nd Annual Cornhole Tournament Fundraiser

The Panhandle Prairie Sharks 2nd Annual Cornhole Tournament fundraiser was an absolute blast for everyone in attendance. Good sport and delicious food trucks made this event one for the books!

Wade Gordon along with @bp.squared @braxtonpaul_salon featured the Wade Gordon Barber Academy and brought their best! Collection ‘21 was hosted on September 18th at the Derrick Event Center – what a perfect combo of art and fashion!

As the fall season came upon us and we were ready for cool days, beautiful nights, and the flair that comes with autumn – so we brought you ‘Autumn Flair’ Art Exhibition featuring Melissa Haney, Ruby Wieners, Adrian Amiro, and Vikki McGuire as well as our other local artists and artists from Oklahoma City; Denver; Lubbock; Canyon; and the DFW metroplex.

The event had live music by local singer, James Owens and Emily George. We had food truck Boudreaux's Best Smokehouse serving delicious cajun style BBQ along with open bars with cocktails, beer and wine.

We are excited to show off several new artists and numerous new pieces that capture the summer spirit with a lively atmosphere that the whole family can enjoy! “We are changing up the timeline for the gallery exhibitions offering longer hours and moving to Saturdays,” said general manager Bryan Barton, “we feel like this is a great way to allow guests to come throughout the day instead of just a few hours for just one evening. If you want to check out the Sod Poodle game that evening or have downtown dinner plans, this will give you the opportunity to come before or after to check out our wonderful art.”

Colors of Summer

The Greyhound Gallery celebrated the ‘Colors of Summer’ June 11th with more than 30 artists, over 430 pieces of beautiful artwork, and over 200 guests. Joined by Cocina on the Go and J&R Family Catering food trucks, and live music by James Owens the gallery was filled with colorful sounds and aromas of the summer to come!

Sierra Sweet 16

This Sweet 16 birthday party was breathtaking! There is nothing better than a father and daughter duo sharing in a great evening at The Derrick event space and enjoying some photos in the gallery! We are glad to have had Sierra, her father, family, and friends spend the evening here!

THE ROARING 20’s

We jumped back in time to the 1920s Saturday, April 10th as Ascension Academy hosted The Roaring 20's Gala right here at The Derrick event center! Everyone enjoyed dancing, a bit of gambling, food, and music – this event will be the bee's knees!

The Lucky dog opening exhibition

We had artwork from area artists as well as work from Lubbock, Denver, Oklahoma City, and DFW area. There were cocktails, food trucks, live music, and around 300-400 people in attendance. It was a great time for the Amarillo art community!

New year’s eve black tie party

This Black Tie Event donated a portion of proceeds to The March of Dimes. Katie Lynn Eddins DJ played all the top hits along with requested songs. There was an open bar, champagne toast, finger foods by Pescaraz, prizes for best mask, best dressed, art gallery scavenger hunt, and fashion bingo.

What an amazing night to ring in 2021!

Hole-a-palooza

The first-ever Cornholio cornhole tournament came to Amarillo, Texas December 5th!

Hal-a-Palooza was brand new to the cornhole tournament scene for Amarillo, Texas (eat ya' heart out ESPN). We had multiple cornhole tournaments, food trucks, a beer wagon, live music, and family fun coming to downtown Amarillo! Cash and prizes up for grabs – what more could you ask for! All located at the historic The Derrick event center!

Hole-A-Palooza partnered with Snack Pak 4 Kids this year and donated a portion of proceeds from the tournament to their wonderful organization! If you aren't familiar with Snack Pak 4 Kids, they help provide food for an average of 10,000 children per week to help keep them fed over the weekend. Most children don't have access to food when not in school, so this helps give each child the nutrition they need to make it in on Monday morning ready to learn!

Hole-A-Palooza raised $1,100 for Snack Pak 4 Kids helping provide 250 meals!
