Weekends Sports & Entertainment, a new venue in town, is hosting WoodyFest West on Saturday, August 15, with proceeds benefiting the Woody Guthrie Folk Music Center's mission to keep live music thriving in Pampa.
The event runs from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Central Time, and features a lineup of regional talent, including Mike Fuller (the host of HPPR’s What the Folk?), Tennessee Tuckness, Taylor Patterson, Tyler Van Valkeburg, the Fossil River Band, Arieon Keller, Lance Richburg and Ty Blackburn. Closing out the night is headliner Cameron James Smith and Band, a rising act out of Amarillo.
Beyond the music, WoodyFest West doubles as a showcase for the venue itself, with indoor golf simulators, beanbag tossing, axe throwing, craft beers and food trucks on site throughout the day. It's a chance for festivalgoers to make an afternoon and evening of it, moving between activities as the music lineup rolls on.
Admission is $5 at the door, with all proceeds supporting the Woody Guthrie Folk Music Center, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of Pampa's own folk music icon. Weekends Sports Entertainment is located at 1300 N. Price Road in Pampa.
