It’s no secret the weather in September and October is about the best anyone could ask for. It’s such a nice reprieve from the Llano Estacado’s dog days of summer. When September rolls around, we’re ready for outdoor activities, and these are a few of the best we found. This is a quick list of events that will take you through mid-October if you’re looking to eat or drink local, outdoors, with fellow estacado dwellers.

What are we missing? If you can add to this list in the comments, please do. We know these aren’t the only events, we just know they’re in population centers of the Llano Estacado. Tell us what’s going on in your community if it’s fun, outdoors, and it has to do with local eats.
