AMARILLO, TEXAS -- From clothing, to jewelry, to arts and crafts -- it was all in the Amarillo Civic Center this weekend.

Starting Thursday was the 31st Annual Christmas Roundup. The South Exhibit Hall in the Civic Center was filled with more than 70 booths of different vendors, offering all kinds of early Christmas shopping goodies. Christmas Roundup wrapped up by 5:00 Sunday afternoon, but the Amarillo Museum of Art Alliance and the Amarillo Symphony Guild will continue to see the benefits from the event  for a long time.

"It's just a great fundraiser to benefit those children's educational programs," said Christmas Roundup Co-Chair Amber Glawe. "It helps both those, the symphony and the Art, really help the children in our area with field trips and just good educational programs that those two entities put on."
