A powerful winter storm left its mark on Grayson County, Texas, damaging a livestock show barn that generations of youth have relied on. The Texoma Exposition and Livestock Show facility took heavy ice and snow from the recent storm, forcing organizers to scramble with the county show just weeks away, and they estimate rebuilding could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Brent Graves with Stock Show Auctions takes us there to see the damage and what it will take to rebuild.
