When was the last time you went to a good ol' fashioned carnival?  We're not talking Wonderland Park or the Amarillo Tri-State Fair.  One's an amusement park, the other is, well, a fair. We're talking a small town carnival.

If it has been a year or decades, it's been too long, and it's time to experience a down-home carnival. That's exactly what is happening in Pampa this week. The Pride of Pampa Band Carnival.
