The Amarillo Sod Poodles and Family Support Services of Amarillo have indefinitely postponed the Sod-Town Fest, a three-day music festival originally scheduled for July 18-20 at Hodgetown, citing unforeseen circumstances.
Fans who purchased tickets will receive full refunds, with payments expected to return to their accounts within 48 to 72 hours. Organizers say discussions are ongoing to explore a future version of the event in a revised format.
“We are disappointed to share such news so close to the start of the festival,” said Tony Ensor, president and general manager of the Sod Poodles. “There was a lot to like about what we had in store for Sod-Town Fest, but we collectively saw it best to postpone the event in order to ensure a top-tier experience at our facility.”
The Sod Poodles and Family Support Services have been working together since the planning phase and say they remain committed to bringing a new event to life when the time is right.
“We are grateful for the support from the Sod Poodles organization and their staff in helping put the wheels in motion to support our cause and our mission,” said Brandi Reed, CEO of Family Support Services of Amarillo. “It is a shame we had to delay the festival, but the partnership with Hodgetown and the Sod Poodles has been a fantastic collaboration thus far.”
No new date has been announced. Updates about future events at Hodgetown will be shared when available.
