Staged annually in the warm surroundings of the elegantly restored 1910 Home Mercantile, the oldest store in Nazareth, the gala raises funds for this historic German farming community. A 5-star dinner, with local wines and many ingredients locally grown and raised, is served by bow-tied Boy Scouts amid live local entertainment. For the 50th consecutive year, the Kwahadi Dancers of Amarillo will present their Winter Night Ceremonials on weekends in late January and February. Made up mostly of teenagers, the Kwahadi Youth Dance Theater interprets the traditional dances of the desert farming people of the Southwest for the performance, titled “Tyuonyi: A Journey in Time.” The performances, held inside a purpose-built kiva lodge filled with art and artifacts.
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P.

From Cathy Chancy Ross: I had hoped to have Santa's Land Drive thru Park opened one more season after dad passed away July 12, 2018. I soon realized that it would be really hard to get it all done with my number one helper gone. He worked year round to have it ready to go. Even with volunteers we had learned in years past that life happens and not everyone is able to help like they planned. I hope you all have great memories to cherish, I know I do. I do worry about the folks that are struggling to explain where Santa is and having to find a new one. One thing that keeps me going is knowing what a wonderful time Mom and Dad will have celebrating this year.
