The Old Route 66 Association of Texas was honored to have the National Park Service head the Texas Collaboration Workshop that was held on July 24, 2015 at Gray’s Studio on Route 66 in Amarillo Texas. We would like to thank everyone that was able to take part in this roundtable workshop. We would also like to Thank Art Gray for allowing us to use his studio, Ken Spencer, with Parties & Events, for supplying the tables and chairs, Aaron Huffaker, with Biti Pies, for providing Itty Biti Pies for refreshments, and Mike Pryor with C&B printing for supplying bottles water for the event.
