Bringing live performance back to the heart of West Texas
View ProgressAfter years of neglect, our amphitheater sat silent. Previous efforts removed unsafe structures but left nothing in their place. We're changing that.
This project aims to rehabilitate the amphitheater into a premium local venue—a place where the community can gather for live music, outdoor cinema, theatrical performances, and cultural events. We're bringing the rustic character of West Texas to life with restored facilities.
Removing invasive vegetation including prickly pear cactus, mesquite trees, and cedar growth. Preparing the grounds for restoration work.
Refurbishing 15 rows of metal bench seating with proper surface preparation, rust treatment, and weather-resistant coatings.
Building out the performance area with stage improvements, audio infrastructure, and essential technical systems.
Adding comfort features, lighting, signage, and the finishing touches that transform the space into a true venue.

Do you have old photographs of the amphitheater from years past? We're collecting historical images to document the venue's story—from its early days through the decades. Your photos will help preserve our community's history and show where we've been as we build toward the future.
Send any photos you have—all decades welcome. Include any details you remember: approximate year, event name, or people pictured.
