ABOUT OLDHAM COUNTY
Oldham County, rich in the history of Route 66 and Old Tascosa, is located 20 miles west of Amarillo. We have huge herds of cattle, miles of crops, wide-open ranchland and prairies, lots of cowboys, oil and wind energy, genuine people, and home to the small communities of Vega, Adrian, Wildorado, and Boys Ranch. The stars really do shine brighter here! Come see for yourself.
While here, make sure to visit our many AREA ATTRACTIONS, eat at one of our unique home-spun RESTAURANTS, shop at our SPECIALTY STORES, and make plans to attend one of our ANNUAL EVENTS.
Spotlight of the Week!
Featuring Ashley Meason
The spotlight for Oldham County Chamber of the Commerce this week features Ashley Meason. Meason grew up in College Station then moved to Amarillo and graduated at Randall High School in 2017. While in high school, she was involved with softball and cross country, but has always enjoyed hunting, fishing and dirt track racing. After graduation she spent a few years in Amarillo before moving to Vega and starting a career with the Vega Veterinary Clinic. While living in Vega she has became a happily dog owner of Hank and Blaize. After moving to Vega, Meason was able to join the Vega Fire Department with the help of her coworker, Windy Montgomery and her boyfriend’s family, Brayden Johnson. “A reason I wanted to be part of the fire department is because this gives me an opportunity to volunteer and to help people in our community,” Meason explains, “it’s a great feeling knowing I have helped people, but the best part is the adrenaline rush when we fight fires.” Her favorite aspect of being part of Vega is the small town feeling and everyone helps no matter the situation. Meason is a certified EMT and is currently working to get her EMT-B. She hopes she will get to be helping in a NICU someday after starting nursing school at Amarillo College and receiving her BSN at West Texas A&M University. Thank you, Ashley for serving Oldham County and the Vega Fire Department! We appreciate the time you sacrifice to help keep our community safe!
