Tierra Blanca Comin' Up
Our annual Tierra Blanca Classic golf tournament will begin on June 27th and will last until June 29th. This is probably the premier golf tournament in the Panhandle and it really brings in a lot of out-of-towners to stay a few days with us. The three day event kicks off with the Rio Blanco Shootout at 2:30 on Friday the 27th. The tournament play begins on Saturday morning and continues Saturday afternoon. Saturday night there is a player introduction at the Country Club begining at 7:00 PM. On Sunday the tournament rounds continue and we have a full day scheduled. The Hereford Cattle Women have lunch available on Saturday. The City has worked very hard to get the course in shape for this premier event and we want to extend our sincere thanks for their hard work. Everything that takes place, all the planning, the production, and the presentation of this event is to promote Hereford and this great community. We have numerous sponsors and entrants. Without these sponsors, it would not be possible to produce such a fine event. In next months newsletter we will feature a "Mighty Thank You" to all who make this tournament such a success each year. If you have the opportunity, we invite you to drop by the John Pitman Municipal Course and see for yourself what a wonderful event this is. That is, if you can find a parking place!
