This year's Spotter Appreciation Day was a huge succes! Over 150 people traveled from all over the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles to enjoy the food, drinks, and good times. Each year the National Weather Service in Amarillo hosts a picnic to thank the many spotters and cooperative observers who volunteer their time and energy to support the mission of the NWS. Without their constant and loyal help, we here at the Weather Service would be unable to provide the level of service that we strive for. The Spotter Appreciation Day is a small token of our gratitude to ALL those who provide us with the quality and timly information that we use every day. We hope all who attended enjoyed the event and we invite all who could not attend to come out next year and take part in the 2006 Spotter Appreciation Day!
