The Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains have announced that cookie sales in Amarillo will be extended until March 15, giving residents nearly three more weeks to stock up on their favorite treats. The extension is due to the impact of recent winter storms and freezing temperatures that delayed the start of the cookie season in the area.

Why it matters

The annual Girl Scout cookie sale is a highly anticipated event in Amarillo, with residents eagerly awaiting the chance to purchase their favorite flavors. The extension provides more opportunities for the community to support the Girl Scouts and satisfy their cookie cravings.

The details

According to Katherine Curtis, the executive director of Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains, the decision to extend the cookie sale was made to give the local Girl Scouts more weekends to sell their products. The winter weather had delayed the start of the season, and the extension will allow the girls to make up for lost time.

  • The Girl Scout cookie sale in Amarillo was originally scheduled to end in late February.
  • Due to the winter storm and freezing temperatures, the sale has been extended to March 15.
