Please join us for a family day of fun for all ages in Amarillo, TX. All are invited. This is our 23rd party for people with Down syndrome, their families, and every one that cares about them. This year our theme is Groovy 70s and we will have a lot of rhinestoned, bellbottom, disco fun and we really would like you to join us.
The PDSG Buddy Walk is a 1/2 mile walk around Sam Houston Park that turns into Amarillo’s best festival of the year. This year, as always, registration starts at 9 AM and the Buddy Walk begins at 10 AM after announcements. During the event, enjoy free hamburgers and hotdogs, foot tapping music, face painting, bouncers, slides, a silent auction, a bungee jumping machine, a petting zoo hosted by the Highland Park ISD FFA program, and much more. Its Texas, so we will have calf roping and bull riding kid friendly stations too. As a special treat, public service heroes will be onsite with their equipment for you to see or explore, including the Potter County Tactical Vehicle, Amarillo Police Dept cruisers, and a fire department truck. The party lasts until 1 PM. This is the most fun you can have in a park that is legal, and is perfect for all ages. Everyone is welcome.
If you care to support the PDSG and our mission to educate and advocate, have your family and friends sponsor you with donations. Those who raise money are eligible for T-shirts and other fabulous prizes! The easiest way to sponsor is through our online registration form.
The event will proceed rain or shine best we can!
