The Amarillo Hispanic Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate as a sponsor for our 2024 Cinco de Mayo Fajita Festival.
Our Fajita Festival is a fajita cooking competition that allows you and your co-workers to partner up and create the best-tasting fajitas. Each team is provided fajita meat, vegetables, and tortillas for the competition and for our community to taste and enjoy the scent of sizzling fajitas.
By sponsoring this event, you have the opportunity to partner with us in our mission to serve the Amarillo area and raise funds for our Scholarship and Internship Program and operations. In turn, we will promote your business, services, and products to thousands of attendees. Join us for our biggest Fajita Festival yet!
We welcome the whole family to join us for fun, music, and all-you-can-eat fajitas (while supplies last) at Hodgetown Stadium on Friday, May 10th. You may contact our office for additional information at the number or email address listed below.
We look forward to your participation!

Repair Café is a neighborhood initiative that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. Amarillo’s first Repair Café will be held June 1, 2024. Panhandle residents can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers. But until then, Repair Café needs the help of handy volunteers in the area. Join us!
Amarillo Parks & Recreation Senior Services is looking for repair volunteers for our Repair Café event. We are especially looking for people who are handy with:
- Sewing/Clothing/Textile
- Bicycles
- Appliances
- Furniture/Wooden Items
- Computers/Electronics
- Sharpening Knives & Hatchets
- Or anyone who is simply handy
In addition, we are also looking for event volunteers. These volunteers welcome visitors and serve as a contact point for both visitors and repairers in the Repair Café.
Want to sign up as a volunteer? Follow the Active Adult 50+ link on the Parks & Recreation website: www.amarilloparks.org. You can also reach out to us at jeff.whitsell@amarillo.gov or call (806)378-4290.
See you soon at the Repair Café!
