The State Line restaurant, in the upper valley, right on the New Mexico/Texas state line, is bringing back their famous, free concert series in 2025.

The State Line restaurant has presented their annual, free concert series for decades ... with the exception of a covid induced timeout ... and will once again bring rock/country infused bands to their beautiful patio.

Get ready for some beautiful evenings, great music and amazing bbq all to benefit the Child Crisis Center of El Paso. See some pics from past years here.

The lineup for the entire free concert series hasn't been set yet but, (so far), here's what we have to look forward to:

The State Line donates some of their profits to the Child Crisis Center of El Paso and donations are accepted during the concerts. The shows are totally free but, please, give what you can to help El Paso area children going through some hard times.

The Child Crisis Center of El Paso is an emergency shelter for kids who are being abused and/or neglected or who are at risk of having those things happen. The money raised goes to pay for the costs of operating the center, providing meals, personal hygiene items, needed medications, clothes, etc.

Because children are often brought to the center unexpectedly, they also accept non monetary donations such as clothing, diapers, toys, etc. They also accept canned food items for their pantry.

The Lost Children of Texas: Unsolved Amber Alerts

Amber Alerts are not issued for all missing children. In 2023 for example, Texas issued 49 Amber Alerts. According to NBCDFW, of the 183 total Amber Alerts issued in the United States in 2023, 26% of cases were resolved successfully. Below are some of the cases you never hear about. Amber Alerts were issued for these children, but they still haven't been found. Please see if you recognize any of them.
