Calling young artists and inventors! Immerse yourself in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci– building, sketching, testing, and designing, just like the “Renaissance Man” himself. Hands-on activity tables explore his contributions to art, science, anatomy and engineering. Will you recreate da Vinci’s work, or add an exciting twist that’s all your own?
Included with membership or general admission.
Leonardo’s Lab, a traveling exhibit, was developed by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and produced in partnership with the Sciencecenter (Ithaca, New York).

Join Us for National Law Enforcement Suicide Prevention Day Walk

Time: 6:30PM-8PM
Location: Amarillo Police Department, 200 SE 3rd. Staging in the north parking lot across from the police department. (Please park in the east parking lot at 3rd and Fillmore.)
As part of National Suicide Prevention Month, we invite you to participate in an awareness walk dedicated to supporting our law enforcement officers across the United States. Our brave officers face critical incidents daily, and it’s essential to acknowledge the mental challenges that can arise from these experiences.
Let’s unite to break the stigma surrounding mental health in law enforcement. Remember, it’s okay to not be okay, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength. This event is about camaraderie, solidarity, and building a strong community.
All are welcome! We encourage you to bring your friends and family.
Hydration station and delicious food trucks will be available to keep everyone refreshed!
T-Shirts are available to purchase by using our QR code. All proceeds will go to benefit officer wellness.
Let’s come together to support one another and raise awareness for those who protect us.

Hello!
It is once again time for our annual VA Welcome Home celebration, and we are so excited that we will have a new venue in the Amarillo Civic Center for the event this year . If you are receiving this email, you have either joined us in the past, have requested the information, or have been referred to be a part. The event focuses on thanking our Veterans for their service, offering resources and information that may be beneficial to them, and it generates a great crowd.
If you have participated in the past, THANK YOU, and we hope you come back this year! If you have not, we would love for you to join us as we come together as a community to thank our Veterans and their families. We have hosted up to 2000 people at this event in prior years, so you will have the opportunity to share your program/business information with a huge audience at NO COST. All vendor space is FREE and is first come, first serve. Anyone is welcome to have a booth and we welcome you to come and enjoy the celebration and mingle with some of our nation’s greatest. This year space is somewhat limited, and we only have room for 60 vendors, so please get your forms in early!
If you would like to participate, we ask that you return the attached vendor form ASAP to the contact below so we can save a space for you. Lunch is also provided free of charge to everyone in attendance, including Vendors.
If you would like to be in the CHILDREN’s AREA specifically, please notate it on your vendor form. If you have any questions about the children’s area, please contact Reagan Maldonado at the numbers listed below.
