Canyon Texas

Canyon, Texas is the friendliest "little big town" you'll ever find yourself in!

This lovely town of just 14,000 people is the county seat of Randall County, home to West Texas A&M University (Go Buffs!), and a vital part of the Amarillo metropolitan area. If you happen to find yourself in Canyon, be sure to stop somewhere so everybody can say hello!

After Nearly Fifty Years Canyon Business Will Be Closing Doors

Fifty years is a long time for a business to be around. It says a lot that a business is able to hold on that long. It means you know your business. It means you really get to know your customers. You get to know your community.

Canyon's Christmas is Going Out With a Bang

Canyon really knows how to put on an event. They are a small town with a great attitude for getting things done. They have one of the biggest celebrations for the 4th of July. Heck everyone from Amarillo travels down to Canyon because we sure can't put on as great of a show.
