The American Quarter Horse is the world’s largest equine breed registry and membership organization. AQHA is headquartered in Amarillo. In addition, right next door is the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum. The museum consists of artifacts, history and technology, including a new exhibition, The Art of the Western Saddle, which made its debut at the museum in January. Many of the saddles have never been displayed in an exhibit and this is an opportunity to view the design and detail of each saddle in the collection.
Exhibition runs through July 31, 2010
Museum hours: Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation has been making dreams come true for children since 1980. The experiences granted to the children bring them hope, joy and excitement. The Texas Panhandle chapter of Make-A-Wish has teamed up with The Panhandle Council of Car Clubs to earn funds for this great cause. Car collectors from all over the nation come to showcase their cars and the public is invited out for viewing. The funds raised will help Make-A-Wish grant the wishes of children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
