Those vendors were Amarillo Kettle Corn, B’s Brink Merch, Blue Mountain Smoke, Brown’s Grill, Heaven’s Kitchen Below, KT Mini Donuts, Pacific Brim and Surf Bar.
The 40th annual event came to a close, and now is the time to look forward to next year’s Farm and Ranch Expo. Vendors can get their names on the list, while the chamber chalks up this year’s show as a success.
