A huge THANK YOU to the Andrews Chamber of Commerce for bringing us another fantastic Wild, Wild West Fest weekend!
Events like this don’t happen by accident - they take an incredible amount of TEAMWORK, HARD WORK, DEDICATION, and a SPIRIT of COOPERATION from so many people across our community.
We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s festival a success:
•The generous, community-minded SONSORS who make an event like this FREE to the public!
•The ANDREWS CHAMBER of COMMERCE staff and volunteers (Board of Directors, Hispanic Heritage Committee, and Women's Division)
•The ACE ARENA staff
•CITY of ANDREWS employees, especially the Street & Sanitation and Water Departments
•ANDREWS POLICE DEPARTMENT
•EMS
•ANDREWS COUNTY SHERIFF'S ’s DEPARTMENT
•ANDREWS COUNTY, especially the Parks Department and the County Precinct employees
•OC NURSING students
•The STUDENT VOLUNTEERS who showed up to help pickup trash, clean restrooms, and do some heavy lifting
And everyone else who pitched in behind the scenes (sorry if I missed anyone!)
A special shoutout to the Wild, WILD WILD WEST FEST Committee for taking on such a massive endeavor. Thank you to:
•Carl & Tammy Shanks for the Gun Show
•Jerry Sanchez for the Car Show
•Christina & Ivan Payen for the Co****le Tournament
•Gary & Cynthia Rawls for bringing the Petting Zoo
•Heart of America Carnival for the wonderful carnival rides and atmosphere
•Blake Roberts and Roberts Productions for the electrical setup for the vendors and for putting on those incredible concerts Friday and Saturday nights
I also want to thank all the vendors and food vendors who showed up with fantastic merchandise and an amazing variety of delicious food — you made the weekend even better!
Thank you, Andrews, for coming out, supporting local, and making this event so special. Helping direct traffic for three days allowed me to see, firsthand, just how many people showed up to enjoy the family-friendly event, and it was well over 15,000! We’re already looking forward to next year! And, if you see any of the individuals/entities/businesses mentioned in this post, PLEASE THANK THEM! 🤠
